straight ahead

straight ahead of one, nobody can go very far*

when the streets are dark and the lights asleep
when blinking does not obstruct vision
when it is only dark with eyes open or closed
when ahead of one, one can only go straight
when in the darkness, leftness is rightness
when there be no directions and no turns
when it only is right to just walk on through
when in the darkness, in its deepest blackness
straight ahead of one, nobody can go very far

* Antoine St. Exupery, The Little Prince
