I would rather see the pole coming so that I wouldn’t run into it. I’m not sure this metaphor succeeded.
I rather suspect you miss the point of the metaphor. Perhaps you also missed the entirely literal meaning as well. Seeing the pole coming is not an option you have available if, as is the case with Kish and many of the people he works with, you do not have retinas.

I definitely missed the literal meaning—thanks.
