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.
