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.
