Unambiguous Orders
‘Kiss my boots, slave boy!’
It’s an unambiguous order. It must be obeyed!
‘Yes, mistress. At once, mistress madam!’
She approaches me with confidence |
She looks down on me with disdain |
‘Kiss my boots, slave boy!’ |
‘Yes, mistress. At once, mistress madam!’ |
Mind the spikes! |
Her ornate boots are worth more than me |
She is worth more than me |
And she knows it! |
Her boots leave me to rot in the dirt behind them |
I am less than her boots... |
...and therefore bow my head behind them accordingly |
I'm garbage! |
