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.
