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.
