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.
