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.
