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.
