Vapors

When nothing’s helpful, nothing helps; when Yellen talks green, markets yelp. Once again, CPI soars; rates head up three quarters more. Printing bills as they go higher, throws more gas upon the fire. Economic cycle fun: nothing new under the sun. Few things in life are truly free; at least I have my poetry.

Good poem, Jeff. At least you can always think and write. You do both well.
