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.
