Memory houses soul asylum vestige...

where complex edifice once anchoring

venerated Glen Elm demesne once stood,

now nothing except vinyl city!

 

I recall breathtaking, expansive, incredible

numerous, tremblingly awe inspiring views

billion miles (slight exaggeration) heavenly

sights comfortably ensconced, while perched

high atop sadly long since demolished complex

edifice anchoring Glen Elm demesne – summer

mansion property captain Leiper (circa early

nineteen hundreds) more'n century ago once

encompassing hundred plus acres whittled to

approximately 2.42811 hectares upon purchase

papa Boyce Brandon Harris, insync with help

courtesy paternal grandpa Aaron Harris, the

former who invested blood, sweat and tears,

when not yoked, tethered, obligated... to

incumbent duties consonant with assignments

linkedin, when gainfully employed as top notch
mechanical engineer at General Electric, he

slaved away gentrifying neglected fixer upper

(matter of fact single handedly reshingled roof)

that same exterior hideaway offering solace

against imprecation, ostracization, ultimatum...

damnation, humiliation, laceration, (albeit verbal

lashing against yours truly), when exhibiting no

motivation to work (courtesy thank debilitating,

immobilizing, paralyzing anxiety/panic attacks),

now though still plagued with same understood

as congenital (possibly in utero) malady, yes an

abominable, execrable, implacable..., nemesis

which unpleasant memories haunt me even to

this day, whereby nothing but utter failure cast

dark shadows analogous to edge of night oft

times accompanied with suicidal ideations,

whereat damned, continually bereft, abysmal

bereft legacy testimony marginally functioning

as the token "scapegoat" throughout twelve

torturous years yielding absolute zero aptitude

unable to comprehend, (I strongly suspect die

progeny (both daughters) afflicted with yepper

can attest to much more positive academic,
