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.
