binaries

It's all ones and zeros, you know---
coded, and suddenly a door opened.
Suddenly I understood the blatant
HEY SAILOR, I love you so good---
or oh Momma wanna cyber?
and all the other fan dancing
posturing, pretending
all the nonsense that repelled me
and made this place
something I mostly hid in.
It's about binaries---
and if the only values
are one or zero
then you damned well better be a "one"
because zero will always be nothing.
So they will be anything you like,
fearing that they are not enough,
and that may work for some---
but me?
I never WAS a number.
