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.
