A Horror Story (Poem-PouncePunk Art Challenge)

This is a true story. It actually happened to me.

I was much younger at the time, which is neither here nor there.

Bedbugs invaded my residence. How? I never knew.

This is still a mystery, as my home adjoined no other abode.

I suspect I unwittingly imported them via mail but don’t know.

While I had the house treated, I went to a cheap motel.

I awakened the next morning with familiar bites.

The room (and the entire motel) was similarly infested.

Wherever you go, there you are. Changing places doesn’t always change circumstances.

A valuable lesson, indeed.
