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.
