It's My Loss
Today I am visited by my erstwhile regular customer, Ms Lola madam. It must be more than 20 years ago that I last had the privilege of kissing her sneakers, when she was a young woman in her twenties. Now she is a forty something, but she still looks fabulous!
She mocks me for still being here – still kissing feet – and
she asks me if I’ve missed her? I humbly confirm that I have, and she laughs at
me again!
My distant memories of serving a 20-something Ms Lola |
I remember vividly her dirty sneakers and white socks! |
Her socks, in particular, will forever be emblazoned on my menial mind! |
What a privilege it was to serve her all those years ago! |
And it still is! |
Her footwear is less scruffy now... |
...but she clearly still has a penchant for sneakers and socks! |
She has switched to wearing black socks - at least for today! |
Whatever their colour, Ms Lola's socks will always hold a place in my heart! |
I love her socks - always have; always will! |
She laughs at me... |
...and in particular the fact that I am still kissing feet all these years later, and in the very same spot... |
...whilst she has moved on with her life... |
...and is now a happily married, middle-aged goddess! |
I hang my head in shame at the thought of my lowly life |
Oh what might have been - if I'd been deemed good enough! |
I might have been the personal servant of Ms Lola's socks all these years... |
...instead of having to rely on my menial memories of serving her in her prime! |
It's my loss! I wonder if it will be another 20 years until I see her socks again? |
