When I was young, time seemed to stand still. But as I plunge
kicking and screaming into my middle years, time compresses and
I find myself thinking about eternity. No, not mortality, spiritual­
ity, or perfume; rather, I’m talking about the unique meaning “eter­
nity” has for Long Islanders.
To empty-nesters left contemplating the remains of an Easter
feast once the guests have rolled out the door, eternity is two people
and a ham. To my single female friends, eternity is waiting for Mr.
Right to appear on their doorstep and in their arms. To a long-
married man, eternity is shopping for shoes with his wife.
To Long Islanders, however, eternity takes on a whole new mean­
ing. My traingoing friends claim that eternity is the Long Island
Railroad loudspeaker squawking during rush hour, “LIRR delays
through Jamaica, delays through Hicksville, delays on the
Ronkonkoma branch.” Why not just drive? You know the answer
to that question if you’ve ever been westbound on the Southern
State in the fall, as the sun sets on the highway and you’re blinded
for six straight miles. Traffic grinds to a standstill as everyone
fumbles with their sun visors and squints into their windshield. You
know what eternity is when you travel from New York City to the
Hamptons on a Friday night in August. They don’t call it “Long”
Island for nothing.
