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.
