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.
