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.
