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.
