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.
