Cleansing Her Sole

‘Be cleansing the sole of my shoe, dirty slave, or I will be having you whipped, isn’t it?’ The Indian girl certainly knows how to talk down to a humble head! I lick the dirty rainwater off her foul-tasting sneaker sole and she eventually walks away from me calling me a ‘ damned fool’ and a ‘nincompoop’ ! She’s right, of course – I am both of those things. I’m stupid.
