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.
