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.
