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.
