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)
