A bright and intelligent customer-mistress instinctively stops
to have her sneakers lickshined without interrupting her telephone conversation
with a fellow superior being high above me and without verbally acknowledging
me in any way. Even when she finishes her brief conversation, she still doesn’t
acknowledge me, instead turning her female attention to the contents of her phone.
And rightly so, for my humble role in society is merely to
lick shoes. I’m just a nothing and a nobody, not worthy of my betters’
conversation or acknowledgement.
‘Hi honey!... Yeah, I’ll be with you in a second! I’m
just around the corner from you about to have my shoes lickshined. Shall we meet just
outside the restaurant?... OK, cool!... See you there, hon!’

 |
| Even though she has finished her conversation, the superb customer-mistress still doesn't acknowledge me as she presents first her right sneaker... |
 |
| ...and then her left, to my menial mouth for lickshining |
 |
| She instead focuses on the contents of her phone |
 |
| And rightly so, for my humble role in society is merely to lick shoes! |
 |
| I'm just a nothing and a nobody |
 |
| Not worthy of conversation with my betters |
 |
| And fit only to stare at their SOCKS as I taste their shoe or boot leather! |
 |
| And very nice SOCKS they are too in this particular case... |
 |
| ...pure white, with vertical, ribbed STITCHING! |
 |
| Not that the pretty wearer of the SOCKS has them on her mind! |
 |
| That's for the likes of lowly me to focus on! |
 |
| Still without acknowledging me, she silently turns and walks away from my mouth |
 |
| I doubt I have barely even registered on her consciousness |
 |
| She has acted on instinct |
 |
| I'm just a thing that lickshines SHOES... |
 |
| ...and studies SOCKS, admiringly! |
 |
| I am not fit even to follow those female SOCKS to heel! |
 |
| I can only watch as they walk out of my lowly life... |
 |
| ...perhaps forever! |
 |
| Oh to be a STITCH in those superior SOCKS! |
