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.
