In the wee small hours of the morning, on a bitterly cold
winter’s night, a passing sink-estate resident kindly stops in order
to have her warm, winter boots kissed and thus keep me company, albeit only briefly.
She doesn’t sympathise with my plight. She just enjoys using
me.
 |
| On a cold and lonely night on the sink estate, I am approached by a local resident |
 |
| Without speaking to me, she shoves her right boot beneath my face, thereby indicating she requires me to kiss it |
 |
| Swiftly followed by her left boot |
 |
| It's too cold an evening for her to loiter with me, so she silently heads on, back to the warmth of her flat |
 |
| She doesn't care about me. And nor should she. I'm just a common-or-garden, public slave! |
 |
| I bow my humble head in shame and reverence behind her departing boots and socks |
 |
| But I can't resist glancing up towards her socktops... |
 |
| ...in order to admire the creases and folds in them |
 |
| I'm glad this kind customer-mistress's feet are warm and cosy inside her thick boots and socks. Unlike me! |
