Mutual Understanding
A Righteous woman, speaking in the arcane language of the
cult of the Righteous, quizzes me in the public stocks late at night as she has
me kiss her Righteous boots:
‘Why art thou being punished, slave?’
I respond in the language of humble slavespeak, a different
language from Self-Righteous Speak, but we nevertheless understand one another:
‘Oh pray, Righteous mistress, if it pleases you Righteous
mistress madam, this slave is being deservedly punished for neglecting to
properly lickshine his mistress’s boots, madam, if you will forgive this
disrespectful, negligent slave madam?’
‘Then thou dost indeed fully deserve thy torment, weak
and feeble slave. A lady’s boots MUST be shined by the tongue of an infidel
like thyself! Shall I apply the WHIP to thy back in order to augment thy suffering?’
‘Oh pray Righteous mistress, thanking you kindly
Righteous mistress madam, this slave is grateful for the mistress’s kind offer,
mistress, and acknowledges that he would be well deserving of the additional
pain and suffering of the whip, mistress madam, but implores the mistress to
show sweet Righteous-womanly mercy upon him, madam, on account of his being
weak and fearful of the WHIP and its mighty, intolerable sting, miss. I kiss
your boots, madam, in supplication and begging, miss. Please don’t whip me,
miss?’
‘It is not thy decision, impotent slave. I am Righteous
and thou art a sinner. Thou art in my POWER and at my MERCY. If I decide to
WHIP thee, then WHIPPED thou shalt be! Kiss thee my boot and study thee my
sock, whilst I ponder thy lowly fate at my feet!’
‘Yes, madam.’
I obediently kiss the Righteous mistress’s BOOT, and study her SOCK, whilst she ruminates on whether or not to WHIP me!
