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.
