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.
