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)
