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.
