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.
