Near Keany Square, at 529 Commercial Street, a huge molasses tank 50 ft (15 m) tall, 90 ft (27 m) in diameter and containing as much as 2,300,000 US gal (8,700,000 L) collapsed.

There is something about Billy Collins
when his poetry is put
in a collection, so many pieces of colored glass
. 
through which to look,
small ones, though,
all promenaded in front of me.
. 
Each little window charmingly
offers me a delightful tinctured glimpse
of the big universal world
. 
of little particular things I live in.
But sometimes, when my forehead is
resting on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=peterdgross.wordpress.com&blog=670089&post=33&subd=peterdgross&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Billions on billions of souls.
Such a cloud and a crowd far outmatch me
If I try setting me against billions.
Thoughts, motives, feelings crowd in me,
Billions on billions of motions,
And I find myself strangely uncrowded
By the billions crowded in billions.
