The Long way to Baton Rouge
The Huey P. Long bridge, or the Old Bridge as everyone in Baton Rouge calls it. The bridge spans over the mighty Mississppi River and it includes a rail line inbetween the east and west bound lanes. The once blue bridge is now orange and stays that way even as the paint flakes off, as the aluminum plant below aids to its appearance.

If only you could see
What is it then that gave you pause
Made you look away?
The light. The light.
Dare I not ascend into the light.
I didn’t open the doors.
Back to the darkness, blind.
The walls left numb
Fall upon the drain and let go
Choices.
What more can be, if only to take you in.
All of you.
Right.

Located in a derelict section of downtown Beaumont, Texas; seemingly without reason, the oddly placed numbers 336 accompany the word "MAiL" along with an arrow pointing down an empty alley.
