Urban Dreams

He was
a solitary soul.
Unitary in his habits,
foreordained by
mechanical taskmasters.
Day in, day out,
an umbra in their lives
for umpteen years.
His ubiety was never
questioned until
his ululation filled
their ears, their minds,
as he discovered
his ullage outweighed
his meaning or his
purpose and theirs
would be, ultimately,
the same ubiquitous
denouement.
