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.
