Old Humblehead
The old humblehead-slave prepares to kiss-respect feet at the bottom of the inner-city stairwell - just as he has done hundreds of thousands times before over the past 60 years!
Customer no. 806,542 approaches his confined humble head... |
...not that he's counting! |
She stops to survey him, and to reinforce her authority over him |
Then her right, sneakered foot is shoved in front of his face |
His lowly lips pucker up to touch her sneaker canvas |
Simultaneously he gets a close-up view of her sock... |
...close enough to be able to discern the individual lines of stitching... |
...and the curvature of the sock over her foot |
He dare not look at his pretty customer above the sock! |
She switches feet several times in front of his face... |
...revealing yet more of her plain green sock! |
She despises him... |
...and rightly so. For he is the garbage at her feet! |
The anonymous humblehead is fit only to kiss the feet of passers-by |
They are all his betters! |
He isn't even qualified to lick their shoes! |
No wonder the young woman looks haughty and proud! |
She feels good about herself - as well she might! |
For she is a goddess being worshipped by a mere public footslave |
Her hallowed feet walk away from him |
He keeps his lowly head bowed in their presence... |
...out of respect for the customer-mistress's shoes and socks |
Shoes and socks he has just fawned over... |
...and tasted via his lowly lips! |
He must now humbly await the arrival of his next customer - no. 806,543! |
