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.
