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)
