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.
