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.
