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.
