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.
