dark    night,bright  light.   little 
 soot-cat hiding  from  the  ion plume. 
                          
 a  grungyteenager,with   soot  smeared 
 acrossher  eyes,   under the shadow  
 of what   they  call   thespaceship. 
                                 
 a secret  ordinance  aimed  at  the sky, 
 fuel still  being  synthesized  offsite. 
 she's     a     sentinel.         
 she   thinks:    soon  we  will  create 
 cavities   within  the   satellite. 
                                    
 the  spaceship  morphs  ever  so slowly, 
 casting and  recasting shadows as big as 
 entire  districts.  but  currently,  she 
 would be  in the open, if not for hiding 
 in  a  hollowed  out  delivery  truck. 
                                          
 spaceship   hovering,   ion exhaust,  
 spore      exhaust,   an   otherworldly 
 snowstorm of  alien  dandruff  (and  the 
 air  perpetually   compromised,   making 
 them  breathe   in  all  sorts  of  nice 
 things   leading   to   all   sorts   of 
 reasonable                       states)
