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.
