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.
