What an interesting thought,
I think.
I like the thought, think, successful bait.
How could a house
drip blood?
Maybe there was a
serial killer...
Maybe it wasn't
actually blood;
but then, what would
it be?
I'd like a possibility here. Walls full of beehives, some thought if you're thinking.
These questions all circle through my
mind, and
the $6.99 answers
call me.
Maybe something about how our click is worth the same now.
Then I
remember that:
people lie,
and continue walking but now my eyes
look down.
"Eyes down" implies shame or embarrassment, if the Narrater is smart enough to think I might prefer them focusing on something else.
"but then what would it be" uhhh fake blood? It's gonna be fake blood. There's actually not much to ponder here.
So I agree with wasella, probably the poem should do something with that. Since the answer is obvious, the speaker could disrupt this by offering outlandish answers, and these could reveal more about the world of the poem/their state of mind
