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.
