Sweetheart Contract - Magazine

We drank from cups on standard-issue sofas under scaffolding

Informed sources said we were seen by observers — it’s a meeting

I received an education

I was dominant for hours

I won myself a wealth of weapons, supermassive wealth

Under a sweetheart contract which clearly stated

'Strength is always health'

I had one upper hand

I was dominant for hours

I want to be there, on the far side of sin

I’ve been putting myself through hell, waiting for hell to begin

I got insurance

I was dominant for hours

My tour-de-force is to forget all that’s gone on around and about me

My manners are forever and whatever sells the newspapers suits me

I got an education

I was dominant for hours

I had one upper hand

I was dominant for hours

I got insurance

I was dominant for hours

We’d better give it back, it’s not ours
