the initial negotiation
was conducted in silence
an unscheduled meeting of eyes
initiated the proposal
of a potential merger
between your company and mine
i laid the conditions
for your successful takeover
on the table
for you to consider
you demonstrated your shrewdness
having astutely read the fine print
you capitalized on my one weakness
in carnal negotiations
and closed the deal
with a fistful of hair
and a demanding kiss
you liquefied my assets
forced my capitulation
in an aggressive corporal takeover
and brought this company
to it's knees
