Northern Exposure

Some years ago
when I didn't watch much TV
there was Northern Exposure
a sitcom
about a fictitious town in Alaska

In recent months I've thought about
the afterlife when we're gone
is it a heaven of angels and saints
or are we returned - reincarnated to do it right

To my surprise on television
A&E is rerunning the sitcom
I'm glued to the set

I made a decision
I made a prayer today
to the Almighty
I want to spend eternity
in Cicely
Not in the real Alaska
Not with reruns
but just as if the fiction
continued
after the new shows stopped

I want to chat with Ed about his script writing
listen to Chris as he broadcasts from the town’s station
watch the antics
of Joel, Maggie, the latest Rick or Elaine
Join the crowd at Hollings’ place
Wondering his good fortune with Shelley
WOO HOO, such fun at Maurice and Barbara, Adam and Eve
Ruth Ann, and all the crew
each script there’s something new
It really would be heaven for me...

The first duty of love is to listen.

Bill,

Nice to see you... Will you get a big head if I said... Magoo, you've done it again.

Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am.
To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight.

Time to get cable, I love that show. Reminded me of 1971 when Uncle Sam located my husband and I to Delta Juction, Alaska. Watching "Northern Exposure" was like reliving our early years in Alaska.

Bill--I guess I might have to watch maybe one rerun, since I never watched the original. This was fun.
