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.
