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)
