It can be a lonely business – being a public humble head slave
in a dirty street-alcove. Which is why I’m always grateful when a customer
stops by for a respect-kissing of their shoes or boots. And especially if I get
to see their SOCKS! 
|  | 
| A potential customer approaches me in the dead of night | 
|  | 
| Mercifully, she stops for a drag on her cigarette right in front of me | 
|  | 
| She kindly offers me her shoe to kiss | 
|  | 
| I lower my unworthy lips to her superior shoeleather and pay my slavish respects to it | 
|  | 
| Being a slave, I can't help but simultaneously admire her pink and grey SOCKS! | 
|  | 
| I know, of course, that those little pink lovehearts on her SOCKS are NOT directed at me | 
|  | 
| This girl DESPISES me! | 
|  | 
| And rightly so. For I'm just a THING that kisses her FEET! | 
|  | 
| What must she think of me - a mere, public HUMBLE-HEAD? | 
|  | 
| I am a NOTHING and a NOBODY - compared to HER! | 
|  | 
| No wonder she titters at me from on high... | 
|  | 
| ...before turning to walk away, leaving me to rot in my loneliness | 
|  | 
| I keep my HUMBLE HEAD respectfully BOWED | 
|  | 
| I am not worthy to look at, or even THINK about, this superb young woman above the SOCKS! | 
|  | 
| Right now, her SOCKS are my LOWLY LIFE! | 
|  | 
| Not that she cares! | 
|  | 
| She doesn't give a damn about me, or my loneliness, or my pathetic hankering after her SOCKS! | 
|  | 
| I'm just a SLAVE she is leaving behind in the GUTTER! |
