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.
