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)
