An elderly, bus footslave has the honour of studying the
backs of a young businesswoman’s socks as she is seated above him on the bus. He really is nothing more than a 'sockface' - a face obliged to study another person's socks!
 |
The sockface kneels in the dirt studying his superior's socks |
 |
They are patterned, cartoon-print socks - belying the young businesswoman's seriousness |
 |
But, whatever his customers' choice of socks, the slave never has anything but the utmost slavish respect for them |
 |
A sock is a sock - and therefore is better than him |
 |
He is inferior to socks |
 |
He studies BOTH socks, of course! |
 |
He has equal respect for both the left and right socks |
 |
Each and every individual stitch in the socks is worthy of his slavish respect and admiration... |
 |
...since it is the stitch in the sock of a young woman - his infinite better! |
 |
He keeps his humble sockface respectfully bowed behind the sock... |
 |
...as he ponders what it would be like to be owned by these socks... |
 |
...to have to follow them to heel everywhere they go... |
 |
...and to kiss, sniff, mouthwash and care for them |
 |
Oh to be this bright young businesswoman's personal sockslave! |
 |
For her part, the wearer of the socks is oblivious to the sockface-slave's devotion to her socks beneath her |
 |
They're just socks... |
 |
...things she slips onto her feet and tucks beneath her trousers! |
 |
She can't even recall which pair of socks she hurriedly put on her feet this morning! |
 |
But she has inadvertently made the sockface-slave's day! |
 |
Such a lovely and intriguing pair of cartoon socks for him to study and admire! |
 |
Her SOCKS! |
 |
The socks of a successful young businesswoman! |
 |
Of a superior being to the slave at her feet! |
 |
The slave, meanwhile, remains resolutely focussed on the backs of his customer-passenger's socks... |
 |
...and will do throughout the rest of her journey |
 |
Sock! Young woman sock! |
