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.
