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.
