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.
