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.
