As a train station platform footslave, I only ever get to
kiss-respect my esteemed customers’ dirtiest parts – their dirty shoes and boots! And
rightly so, for even their everyday shoedirt is better than me.
|
I can see my next customer approaching my humble head |
|
Her sneakers and socks stop in front of me |
|
Then, without saying a word, her right sneaker is unceremoniously shoved towards my menial mouth |
|
Swiftly followed by her left |
|
I kiss each dirty sneaker, as is my default position by Law |
|
Whilst the young-woman wearer of the sneakers focuses on her text messages high above me |
|
She doesn't have a second thought for me |
|
And nor should she, for I am just a pathetic feetkissing slave! |
|
These are everyday sneakers with everyday ingrained dirt |
|
And she is wearing matching everyday socks |
|
I can smell the rubbery aroma of her soiled sneakers... |
|
...as my lowly lips make contact with their dirt |
|
Always I must look down... |
|
...at the dirty ground and my customers' dirty footwear... |
|
...footwear I must humbly kiss... |
|
...out of respect for it and its wearer! |
|
She briefly glances down to ensure my humility, respect and compliance... |
|
...before heading on her female way... |
|
...leaving me to rot in the dirt behind her |
|
I fondly follow her departing sneakers and socks with my lowly, ankle-level eyes |
|
...and think about what I have just been required to do... |
|
...namely kiss-respect the dirty shoes of a stranger... |
|
...of a bright and intelligent young woman... |
|
...of my infinite better. Even her sock is better than me! |
|
Meanwhile, the world walks on by me, unconcerned at my pathetic plight! |
