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)
