The passenger of Chaos

The passenger of Chaos could choose an instrument:
he chose a tin flute.
He would have liked to choose the guitar,
but the instrument had been taken already, of course.
He doesn't know how to play, he doesn't even know how to
                                           read the score!
But again and again he succeeds in being caught by the
                                            dream hold.

-- The man told his story which had no place for Chance.
He spoke fast, but the passenger of Chaos captured him
and stood there waiting at the story's end.
The man never got there.
He carried the words from his mouth to another town
and the other guitar, his own,
the one that held its string out in the wind
    the one that spoke darkly, he left under the bridge of
                                                      sighs
