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.
