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.
