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)
