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.
