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.
