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.
