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.
