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.
