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.
