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.
