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.
