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! |
