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.
