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.
