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.
