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.
