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.
