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.
