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.
