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.
