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.
