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.
