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.
