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.
