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.
