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.
