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.
