Computer Language

Ones and Zeros, Zeros and Ones.

She's a One.
Oh, is she a One.
Surrounded by all her skinny One friends and all her amazing One guys.
Us Zeros hear what the Ones do for fun... the day after.
That fancy dinner party? No, it was nothing.
Just a couple of Ones hanging out.
Totally casual, in an extra fancy-bring-a-date-and-dress-up kind of way.
Nah, I don't care.
Yes, continue to talk about how fun it was and who's invited to the next one.
Zeros don't have ears.
Zeros don't have hearts.
Zeros are just big fat black holes.
Zeros are literally nothing.
Ones, they get together and equal themselves.
While Zeros, us lonely Zeros better stay away because all we're ever good at is
ruining things.
negating things.
dragging Ones down to my level.

but Ones and Zeros are just Ones and Zeros, right?
Just two numbers.
That's all.

that's all.
