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.
