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)
