\n Or hurt: Ask me what difference<\/em>
\n Their strongest love or hate has made.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWilliam Stafford<\/p>\n
\nGoing on about the stock market and the Federal Reserve–again.
\nNominal GDP, gold index, bond fund, funds rate
\nShort term, long term, rate hike, inflation spike.
\nThe conversation street is one way,
\nAnd you supply me my opinion.
\nI find myself wandering,
\nAnd try not to almost make sense,
\nStart a sentence–I don’t know where it is going–
\nAnd see if I can find the end.
\nBill at my office door, here I go again.<\/p>\n
