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.
