    Golden Case

    The God of the Moon
    Lord of the bloody Moon.
    Savior or Antichrist
    No answer is available
    On the line.
    Blood red tide of blind
    Antithesis death man.
    Crystal pale face
    Slick lines of age.
    Tourist...
    Oh course you are my friend.

    Omemendial
    A priest with a green candle
    A cape of silver and scarlet
    A face of white china.
    Smoke clones
    On the brink of the universe.
    Omemendial
    Green brain in a golden case.

    Thin green snake
    Small chubby kid with a green shirt
    We at the door carrying a candle
    For Omemendial.
    He accepted the shoes.
    They took his eyes
    Because his art made him crazy.
    With bleeders around his table
    The barbers who pose as doctors.

    -Will Dockery /1989



    Will Donkey's art would have made him crazy... if he had ever gotten around to creating any, that is.


    The stuff of nightmares.


    That's actually a quote from a review of Will's chapbook.


    It should have said "A wet dream for Willie, a nightmare for the rest of us."



    If Will's poetry were ever collected by a legitimate publisher, he would go down in history as the world's all-time worst poet.

    Fortunately for Will, no legitimate publisher would touch his "unspeakable shit" with a ten foot pole.
