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.
