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.
