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)
