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.
