Local Goddess
I don't know her name as she has never deigned to speak to me. I only know that she must be a local goddess, as I have served her several times before.
I know also, of course, that she is my infinite better, and must be worshipped and respected as I lickshine her dirty sneakers. I'm just her local public humble-head. We BOTH know that!
A familiar local goddess approaches |
She kindly stops in front of my face |
Then she kindly uses me |
I endeavour to remove the dirt from her outstretched sneaker |
Tasting where she has been is all I am good for! |
The dirt on her sneakers is hallowed dirt... |
...being a superior young woman's sneaker-dirt! |
She towers over me - local goddess-like! |
Occasionally she nonchalantly switches feet before me |
Likewise, occasionally she takes a nonchalant drag on her cigarette... |
...before looking down on me, both literally and figuratively |
And rightly so, for she is a local goddess and I am her local slave |
And she knows it! |
Meanwhile I hang my head in humble shame... |
...for there is still dirt stuck to the soles of her sneakers! |
Dirt that, by rights, should now be inside my menial mouth! |
Shame on me! |
