The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber

chasing phantoms

years later, i run
in

the same direction,
east by southeast

on

a plain-dead trajectory,
lying. i

find you

in every tree, in every path,
in

every song.

i sing, dead-pan face,
stinging breath

pulled

out from tired lungs,
holding

change (out in front of me) on a limb
like

a carrot.

with
my dog-ged tread

you haunt me,
(haggard and still),

nine

thousand miles later...
