A  String  Of Pearls,  Like A  Necklace. 
   Glowing In Offensive Colors. Luring.   
                                          
                                  
           Mall           
                                  
                                          
 A Few  Ways To  Get Betrayed: Being Sold 
 Broken Items Or Mimicry, Being  Recorded 
 (For  What Purpose?),  Being  Ascribed A 
 Negative  Value And  Getting Kicked Out, 
   Or Beaten, Getting Requisitioned To    
 Operate  Some  Facet  Of The Body (Being 
 Cared  For Enough  To  Fear  Losing  Its 
 Favor,  Yet Not Enough  To  Meaningfully 
                 Survive)                 
                                          
 Evokes  The Sense Of  Scavenging, But It 
 Is A Projection And A Mirage -  It'S All 
  Controlled And Coreographed, Presented  
 Like  A  Gift,  A  Reward  For  Nothing. 
          For Being So Beautiful.         
                                          
 With That  In Mind,  Is There  A Choice? 
                                          
 It'S Easy  To  Grow Lazy  With Its Ease, 
 And Leave Your Network Of Minor  Streams 
 And Animal  PoolS  In Dissaray, And With 
 The  Waning Of  Your Secret Wells,  Your 
 Depencence   On  The   Mall  Will  Grow.
