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.
