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.
