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)
