Hanging Around
The subway footslave always gets nervous when young people hang around his humble head of an evening. They can be so capricious and unpredictable – and he is clearly at the mercy of their feet and footwear!
Sure, he has the somewhat reassuring presence of subway security-guard mistress, Ms Anna madam. But, right now, she seems much more interested in her telephone conversation with her husband or boyfriend than she is in the humble head’s safety and wellbeing. Meanwhile he must try not to eavesdrop on the happy couple’s intimate conversation high above him, and instead concentrate on the back of the young black woman’s dirty white sneaker and pure white ankle sock.
Even the Chinese girl’s sexy black leather kneeboots and matching black cotton kneesocks are out of bounds to him right now. He must focus on black girl white sock for, at the present moment in time, she is the one closest to him who could therefore do the most damage to his face – were she so inclined! Plus, being female, she is above the Law, so, even if she did hurt him, Ms Anna could do nothing about it – except laugh at him, again were she so inclined!
Ha! Ha! When will the stupid slave realise that nobody cares about him? He is not the centre of everyone’s attention! He’s just a thing – a dirty thing – that hangs around their feet, kissing and licking their dirty shoes. They have much better things to do with their precious time than to arbitrarily kick his face in – and much more important things on their superior, free-citizens’ minds.
So just get on with studying that black girl’s white sock, stupid slave – and be grateful that you aren’t confined in the public kneeling stocks, or tied to the public whipping post in the town square. Then you really wouldbe the centre of unwanted attention!
