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.
