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)
