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.
