I agree w Partick but couldnae figure out why; now think it's bcuz of a
shift in tone. First stanza feels dreamy, "describing" and evoking a mood;
second stanza's like a teacher trying to explain/apply an economic theory.
And I can't grasp a reason for the contrast, therefore opt for stanza 1's
tone alone.
What's your take on it, Doug?
