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.
