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.
