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.
