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.
