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.
