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.
