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.
