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.
