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.
