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)
