Yes it is...For someone who doesn't care too much for this thread you do, rather often, stick your head in here.

T'aint a simple one-time shot
Nor a complex alphablot

Just a letter, if you please
One that won't leave ill at ease

"i"?

i've moved on, trying to contemplate the post-10,000 season soon to be

imagining what will be

or if the entire thread of the universe will unravel into a giant imploding ball

it's an unmentionable letter
one not to be uttered
whispered
hinted at
alluded to
scripted
pasted
copied
or tasted

not to be belittled
nor to be griddled

it's one for the books
not one for the crooks

one for the ages
and one for the sages

do not try to guess
you will only be stressed

you might try to solve
but you will only devolve

now should you deduce
you might turn it loose

the evil spirits in the box
at the bottom of which

hides the hope

Yes, what are we hoping for...? You made us all curious now. 🙂

To paraphrase Robert Frost's line about a riddle:
'We dance around in a thread and suppose
while coquette sits in the middle and knows.'

hope was the last spirit to escape from pandora's box. . . but the letter is

not a p
nor a b

tis not an x, y nor z

still we might
let it be
while we pee
and be sure
to dot our i's
and cross out t's
as we x out y and z
