"THE HOUSE THAT DRIPS BLOOD"

What an interesting thought,
I think.

How could a house
drip blood?

Maybe there was a
serial killer...

Maybe it wasn't
actually blood;

but then, what would
it be?

These questions all circle through my
mind, and

the $6.99 answers
call me.

Then I
remember that:

people lie,

and continue walking but now my eyes
look down.

I like that you can read "What an interesting thought, / I think." as "I think it is interesting, but maybe I'm wrong, and it's actually boring". It sets up some kind of disillusionment at the end of the poem nicely. Unfortunately the last five lines are pretty dull. 

After I read "Maybe it wasn't / actually blood;", I half-expect a third, more outlandish/intriguing "Maybe...". Maybe (hah) try adding one and seeing if it gets the poem to a more interesting ending?

I agree with Matsuno that the speaker's tone is nice. It'd be nice to have it pay off a bit more.
