    Ferryboat to Easy Street

    Somewhere along the ferry
    Or out there
    On the streets
    You know it'll be all right.

    Hide yourself in fright
    Stay out all night
    We will make you less tight
    Strange possible delight
    With anyone in sight.

    Keep you cool
    You need to stay in school
    Make everyone out there proud
    Be real proud talk so loud
    And together we'll be allowed.

    Don't you know
    I can't take it
    The way you strap it out
    Nobody here in pain
    Feeling like I have
    Seen you here.

    Don't worry I'll pull out
    You know it'll be all right
    Keep it stiff
    Act real bright
    You're so fine
    Just like a sign.

    Kind of on the height
    Of the experience
    Throwing in minds
    All twisted with followers.

    -Will Dockery


    This one has a light easy flow, like drifting down the river on a pontoon boat....

    A relatively early poem, written mainly to test out my friend Greg Carter's new electric typewriter, circa Spring 1976.

    And so it goes.
