Add Another Letter

once it was that two made one

that would itself be made again

yesterday to tomorrow united

in the constancy of their today

and though remains as true

as was true when time began

so many letters now are added

ignorant confusion runs amuck

too many left out, some think

“Let’s add another letter!”

yet more makes less unique

less inclusive of the fringe

“Let’s add yet another letter!”

that all but one will have a say

in sad re-writing of this today
