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.
