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.
