Ocean Parkway Overpass









I'm trying to figure out if my fear of the overpass is at all rational. My friend says no, it's not, even if someone dumped a body there years ago, which people still memorialize every year by placing a candle on the bridge's Western end. Not rational, even if I feel completely isolated while crossing it, wondering if I wouldn't be safer taking my chances against the automobiles on the circle.

But it was a gloomy day when I last crossed. In better weather, I think I'd would have once again picked up the daydream of owning a sweater resembling the brickwork on 30 Ocean Parkway.
