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.
