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)
