I said. Abacus, I said.
Let’s go back
to the computation
made with fingertips
on beads. Ten fingers
turn one or two, the binary
of in and out
I am zero, round,
and you are one, a straight
line, and combined
we mean everything,
eventually.
you have a poem starting with "I am zero.." not much of one (keeping with the motif) the top part of it looks like fucking cabbage, but I'm just tryin to be reasonable, eh?
The metaphor, unfortunately, is tenuous as I think both the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine worked in base ten arithmetic, not binary. Nor is an abacus a binary instrument. Again, think. I am not an expert on either. Lovely poem, though.
