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.
