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.
