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.
