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.
