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.
