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.
