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.
