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.
