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.
