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.
