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.
