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.
