Double Helix - (Part 1?) Solved

Double Helix

From sixsidedsquare at the UnFiction forums:
Using the original characters and ignoring the triplets, replace C's and G's with 0's and A's and U's with 1's. This gives:
(Super Tiny Binary Go~!)

[Note: Binary removed for the sake of space - see it here - Trainer]

Which translated to:

Sometimes, with the last light of evening, the dark, ramshackle trains
depart slowly from the stations;
metallic, dirty, crammed with hurried riders who fall silent while the
whistle says farewell to the platforms;
and the last scraps of newspaper scurry over concrete, under shoes, and
fall to the shining rails;
then, in the evening's slant light, its saffron and certain and sad-
smelling light, the last coaches vanish;
and I am the traveler, I am always the traveler, leaning, barely aboard
and lost in thought;
the traveler who has departed but never arrived, pursuing illusions in
train tunnels;
and then I tell everyone goodbye, and goodbye to myself, waving the
utopic handkerchief;

FIND ME

Now I'm not sure if that's the final 'answer' as such, or if there's another layer here. Depends on what the thing this from is like I guess. As I mentioned above there's still the possibility of an extra layer. Either way, as Rogi pointed out to me in chat, it's from a Spanish poet Roberto Manzano, translated by Steven Reese as seen on this page.

Thoughts?

  1. As Ziola pointed out on the UnFiction forums, the "FIND ME" line seems to indicate that there's more to this. Who are we finding?
