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.
