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)
