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.
