Binary 101
Numerically double-edged,
Duplicitous it is paired
Likewise and two fold
Its twin coded binate, not spared.
Double barrelled
Bilateral couple,
teamed;
braced – unified.
Mated and single
Coupled, unpaired
Mixed radix,
Can be shared.
Digitally based
Systematically aced
Zero blocks the chain
Based at one
The power redefines
Linear thinking holds
Only conversion
Characterises
The values you will find
Inside binary lines
Seesaw
Flip flop
Upside
Down go
Switch on
Turn off
Nothing
Between
One or
Zero
No if's
Or maybe's
Black white
Day night
No dawn
No dusk
Binate
Just state
Love me?
Hate me?
'Tis Which?
