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.
