"X"

A single letter,

so many meanings.

In Roman numerals,

"X" is ten.

Mister X

is a mystery.

"X" marks the spot,

you know where you are.

"X" crosses you

off the list.

Superimposed on an image,

"X" says not allowed here.

"X" on a signature line,

indicates illiteracy.

 

And when "X" is followed

by the letters LG,

it's distressing.

(Particularly

if the "X" comes in multiples!)

Author's Note

This is the strange result of lying in a hospital, bored out of my mind, and receiving morphine injections for pain. See, inspiration is everywhere!
