To the Romans, I’m D (yes, we’ve been here before);

I’m an Indy car race; I am Fortune’s top drawer;
And this riddle, by number, for those keeping score.

Who am I?

I’m a state of good health; I’m a hole people sink;
A performance of excellence; storage for ink;
Gravitational field; the bar’s cheaper-brand drink;
And a word used before what you actually think.

Who am I?

In many long sentences, I’m at the end;
I’m a third of a hockey game; her monthly friend;
An emphatic pronouncement you cannot amend;
And the time in each class that a student must spend.

Who am I?

I’m to end a hotel stay; to borrow a book;
In the market, to pay for the items you took;
To stop paying attention to what you can’t brook;
To investigate backgrounds; or take a close look.

I’m a seizure of spasms; a tantrum of cries;
How a line maps to data; a match that seems wise;
I am apt like a shoe; healthy torso and thighs;
I am suited for duty; and clothes in your size.

I am central in buildings; I’m cooling the car;
I’m the thinnest of MacBooks; the holes in a jar;
For a show to be broadcast; imagined guitar;
And the sneakers of Jordan, the basketball star.

I’m a sad type of state where your movement is slow;
Economic conditions that don’t seem to grow;
I was Great (but not really) not too long ago;
And a wide patch of land that has sunken below.

I portend mighty storms when I wander the land;
I’m the side to face forward; where generals command;
I’m the audience house; for another I stand;
I’m the door where you knock; and the lead of a band.

Who am I?

I’m a bag on the diamond; a number that’s squared;
I’m ignoble desire; where soldiers prepared;
I’m the first coat of paint; loyal voters declared;
And I turn into salt when with acid I’m paired.

Who am I?

I’m the zest in your cocktail; a dance for the hip;
I’m an orphan from Dickens; rotate in a flip;
I’m distorting a quote; remove lids with your grip;
I’m a shift in the plot; and an ankle-sprain trip.

Who am I?
