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.
