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.
