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.
