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.
