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)
