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.
