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.
