The Loneliness Of A Humble-Head

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!
