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.
