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.
