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)
