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.
