Godspeed

A burning itch plagues
eyes
it tugs at concentration
creating dual images of
letters floating
transforming
betraying
a visionary's glimpse
of the straight road

a highway painted
double lines merge
to one yellow hot
streak of
direction removed from
that landmark
sought to ensure
a discovery of safe passage
for them all
it remains undiscovered

Never arriving
they cannot turn
and
go home
the path
is straight
...and narrow
