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.
