X is for, well, X

ten in the Roman system

the unknown planet in

old sci-fi films and maybe

new astronomy

the name of the ray the

Curies made in life and

death that we might see

below the skin

first letter in in the name

of the Persian warrior

on the other side of

Thermopylae,

same with a saint (a

university), a musical

instrument, and the

musician named Cugat

and, yes, the name that

gave the X to comic

books, television, graphic

novels, and films

first letter (transliterated

from Aztec) for

Xochimilco, the floating

gardens of Mexico

City,

which fed the center

of empire and now feeds

beauty for the city

first letter for a queen

who challenged Roman

might; her people

feared those from the

outside and for good,

tragic reason

her name became a

modern term, Xenobia

to xenophobia

it’s what we sometimes

use to correct; lefties

prefer it to writing a

check-mark

it starts the sequence for

both genders

it is a shape

it’s what’s used when a

whole signature is not

required

mostly, though, we know

what it’s for: in song, in

verse, in story—and the

human heart—it is

a symbol for the searcher

X marks this, doesn’t it?

where the treasure lay
