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.
