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.
