Mocking Me In The Rain

 A smiling and laughing Ms Mukta mocks me in the rain.

Regular customer Ms Mukta madam splashes her way towards me under the protection of her umbrella

She stops to laugh at me and mock me, calling me a 'drenched rat'

She then has me kiss-respect her rain-dampened sneakers

There is no pity for me in her demeanour

And nor should there be - I'm just a slave!

As I kiss-respect her outstretched right sneaker, I can see a tiny slither of her plain grey socktop

But when she switches to her left sneaker her jean leg, frustratingly, rides down to cover her sock!

Not that Ms Mukta madam gives a damn whether I can view her socks or not! 

She leaves me to get soaked, as she heads to the shelter of her nearby warm and dry apartment

She's okay. She's not getting soaked

That's because she is better than me

I bow my humble head in shame and humility behind her departing feet
