Welcome to the house of fleas
The people start with downcast
eyes upon you noticing the bite
or scratching it with offhand might,
and no one mentions anything.
It's understood the people here
have tried, and can do nothing
now
about the fleas
who call this house
their home, well-stocked
with beings, blood -
and other chic necessities.
A Pocketful of Poesy was and is again a Poem-a-Day(-on-Average) Blog! For 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and now for 2017 and going forward, you may expect to see 365 poems every year, 366 for leap years.
but aren't they all random?
