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)
