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.
