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.
