She splashes her way towards me in the pouring rain,
umbrella in hand:
‘You a dirty slave. You kiss my boot, dirty!’
Her accent is distinctly Chinese, but, of course, her words
speak a universal truth. I am just a dirty slave and I should be kissing her
boot – the boot of my better!
‘Yes, mistress madam. At once, mistress madam. Pray
forgive my dirtiness, mistress?’
‘You no talk, dirty slave! Only kiss Chinese lady boot! You a
slave you obey!’
I shut up and do what any slave does best – I kiss the Chinese
lady’s rain-splashed BOOT!
‘Haha. You kiss pretty Chinese lady boot! You a moron!
You a f***wit slave! I laugh at you!’
As she turns to leave me like the drenched rat that I am,
even the backs of her BOOTS splash me with rainwater, thereby indicating their utter
contempt for me! And rightly so.

| Her BOOTS splash through the puddles on their way towards me |
 |
| ‘You a dirty slave. You kiss my boot, dirty!’ |
 |
| ‘Yes, mistress madam. At once, mistress madam. Pray forgive my dirtiness, mistress?’ |
 |
| ‘You no talk, dirty slave! Only kiss Chinese lady boot! You a slave you obey!’ |
 |
| I duly shut up and obey. I kiss her rain-splashed BOOT |
 |
| Swiftly followed by the other one |
 |
| ‘Haha. You kiss pretty Chinese lady boot! You a moron! You a f***wit slave! I laugh at you!’ |
 |
| Her mocking laughter directed towards me pierces through the sound of the heavy rain |
 |
| She's still laughing with joy and glee as she turns her back on me... |
 |
| ...and walks away... |
 |
| ...leaving me to rot in the sodden concrete behind her |
 |
| Even the backs of her BOOTS contemptuously splash their dirty rainwater onto my confined face! |
