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.
