O that virus who came like a visitor
You came conceded at once
And it seems you came with alot of purposes
You came at the time when some men are holling, but not others

Before your visit some are holling for persistence and starving
But others keep the persistence and starving
We saw how you broke that persistence and starving from others
And now the keepers are holling and the hollens are convivial

Is this the purpose of your visit to your selective friends?
OH if this is it, you make a big alliance with the rich and poor
You even made blacks and the alabaster to unanimity
And now they are looking for Concord and tranquility

OH you visitor you came with alot of astound
You visit the globe with a different exceptional ways
Which you made some to even be scared with their loved ones
A taciturn move which eradicate in mare eye but inside is a benediction to scarce.

I Miss my Northern Exposure Tee Shirt

We could drive into town for a beer at The Brick
Listening to the radio as Chris-in-the-Morning
Reads a chapter from Doctor Zhivago
Connecting Yuri with Uncle Roy Bauer

We could drive into town for gas at Ruth-Anne’s
Marilyn and Ed will talk about movies; Maggie and Joel
Will argue some more on the sidewalk outside
While Maurice preens before his reflection in the glass

And then to The Brick: Shelley behind the bar
Holling and Dave-the-Cook wrestling the grease trap -
I think I left my Northern Exposure tee shirt
In the laundromat in Cicely, Alaska

We could drive into town and look for it
