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.
