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.
