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.
