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)
