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.
