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.
