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)
