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.
