My Short-Circuited Rejected Shaky Left-Hand, sought Structured Guidance in <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former York Township\u2019s First Supervisor Eldridge\u2019s torn up, rooted, naturally<\/p>\n\n\n\n
disturbed land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I found myself standing in the exact same spot Edward Eldridge himself once used to stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feeling goosebumps\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only connection I found myself left with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was with this Great Supervisors long-lost Beautiful Soul; a ghost, who now simply<\/p>\n\n\n\n
whispered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlease, just call me Edward instead, young man. I see you too cherish and help<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n protect this land with that uniquely gifted Left-Hand.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n His old farmstead from centuries ago, this spot too his dreams had ended years ago..<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Creek, she would overflow\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n The City stripped her Idyllic Purpose, channelizing her Natural Winding Majestic flow..<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its citizens’ garbage they would later ignorantly and tragically come to throw; <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Landfill)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They tossed me to the Same; Elmhurst: \u201cnaturally disturbed location.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In their eyes, nothing-just contamination\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I can see through the capped layers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t they realize some of Supervisor Eldridge\u2019s bittersweet sticky sad history I may<\/p>\n\n\n\n potentially know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tapping Silver Maples upon his former farmstead from long lost forgotten centuries <\/p>\n\n\n\n ago?<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you look deep Northwest carefully, some of those long lost old Trees <\/p>\n\n\n\n Resiliently still Glow-fueling my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look even harder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Edward\u2019s Tapping scars on his Glorious Trees still show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I reached up\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tremor<\/em> still in Left-Hand, <\/p>\n\n\n\n And rubbed<\/em> the Scar where Edward\u2019s very same hand once Tapped a former hole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Long-forgotten Sticky Syrup fused that rejected young man’s Pen to his Left-<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hand;<\/p>\n\n\n\n His once erased INK transformed into Permanent Shiny Silky Silver Sticky Syrup.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHere young man, my ink hopefully still bears weight.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Sweetness of my memory will attract them, the Stickiness will forever hold with <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n it any truth inscribed. With the Shiny Ink, Truth Shall Never be Blinded. Finally, the <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Silky Ink carries weight which will help guide and keep your uniquely gifted Left-<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hand eternally smooth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And so, with that spiritful farewell,<\/p>\n\n\n\n His Left-Hand failed to ever again Judder with it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Inscribed by,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gregory M.
