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.
