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.
