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.
