A public humble-head slave is not only required to
kiss the feet of the general public who deign to stop in front of his feckless
face. By Law, he is also required to ‘study and admire’ the feet and
footwear of those who choose to simply pass on by him. Specifically, he must
study any dirt on their shoes and creases in their socks – however fleetingly –
as they walk on past him, and must think humble and self-deprecating thoughts
in relation to his betters’ footwear, such as how their shoes and socks are
better than him, and are too good for his menial mouth to kiss-respect.
He is a nothing and a nobody, and his betters have every
right to ignore him.
 |
| A member of the female public ignores the street, public humble-head slave as she nonchalantly walks on past him |
 |
| The slave's role in such circumstances is to humbly study the young woman's shoes and socks... |
 |
| ...including the dirt on her shoes... |
 |
| ...the naturally forming creases in her socks... |
 |
| ...and the individual stitches in her socks |
 |
| He must do so with a look of awe and respect |
 |
| It is, of course, immensely frustrating for the slave's menial mouth not to be able to kiss sneaker... |
 |
| ...and for his lowly lips not to be able to kiss sock |
 |
| All he can do is look up to the bright young woman's socks... |
 |
| ...the socks of his superior! |
 |
| He can at least contemplate what it would be like to be one of the stitches in her socks... |
 |
| ...and humbly aspire to be so... |
 |
| ...though he knows in his heart of hearts that he could never be good enough to be a part of a young woman's sock! |
 |
| He can look at the socks but not touch them |
 |
| Indeed, by Law, he MUST look at her socks - and admiringly so with a demeanour of slavish awe! |
 |
| For these are the socks of his infinite better... |
 |
| ...socks that are free to walk condescendingly on past him |
 |
| He's just the dirt in the ground these shoes and socks walk on... |
 |
| ...a lesser being than the socks! |
 |
| This girl's socks are effectively his masters - even though he doesn't know them... |
 |
| ...and has never met them |
 |
| The Law states he is nevertheless beholden to her socks... |
 |
| ...as he is to the feet and footwear of all who pass by him! |
 |
| No wonder this young woman feels superior! |
 |
| She is superior... |
 |
| ...as are her socks! |
