Skank Mistress
She’s known locally, with some affection, as the ‘sink-estate skank’ – always in and out of prison; loud-mouthed and foul-mouthed; living on Female State benefits; unemployable (probably); yet enormously attractive with it.
To me, of course, she’s just another customer-mistress who must be feared, respected and obeyed – for even a ‘skank’ is far higher up the social ladder than a public humble head. Indeed, even the cells in the tiny pieces of dead footskin stuck to the inner surfaces of her grey sneaker-socks are worth more than me. She’s superb.
As she turns to walk away from me I study the back of her sock. I wish I could be her sock!
