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.
