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.
