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.
