CALCULATOR CONSCIOUSNESS

Expanding calculator consciousness
engulfs us all.  It's pointless to attempt
escape.  That we are data is as clear
as the 0's on your one and only face.
Cast aside foolish hope and foolish fear
will follow.  Since we cannot be exempt
from digitalization of the mess
we call ourselves, we ought to calculate
the benefits, and knowing them, embrace
the process.  We can count on being brothers
when we are only numbers represented,
as everything must be, in solid state,
when all the world is fully reinvented,
when every 0 is one with all the others.
