Molasses
Boston, January 15, 1919
Temperance thoughts try to ignore
why a distillery would name itself Purity;
Horses, dogs, men, women, and children
faced the fate of flies stuck to yellow tape.
Brutal January didn't help as victims were forced
into candy coated straight jackets of death.
A tank gave way.
Even Carrie Nation would have cried.
