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.
