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.
