house of fleas

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.
