“Leverage is a strategy”

He sat there.
Many words, little substance.

And she sat there.
Little words, much substance.

He wanted more.
She wanted less.

Don’t give’m more until they give back, someone said.
But she had already sent the file. She had already done the work.

The leverage? Now gone.

She was generous.
And he was smart.

If she wasn’t careful, those two would merge.
And it would only benefit one.
