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.
