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.
