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.
