fermi's paradox      
                          
                                          
 on earth  (the planet  where  i live)  a 
 lot  of  us have antennas  on our houses 
 or  balconies,   we  have  built   large 
 antennas  for larger  bandwith, we  have 
      build specialized antennaes for     
    specific wavelengths (and sent them   
 into orbit), we've  built  large as fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've virtually  built an antenna with a 
         dish as large as earth.          
                                          
 we've  learned about our position in the 
     solar system, our solar systems      
 placement  in   the   galaxy,   and  our 
 galaxys placement  in the local cluster, 
 and  our local clusters  place  in the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and the suns moving around  the 
 center  of  the  galaxy at velocity  and 
 the  galaxy is moving  toward  andromeda 
    and we're both moving anticlockwise   
 around the galaxy. and  we as a  species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and despite all  this,  despite  all our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio  programmes out in  fucking  space 
 at the  speed  of  light (light  is  our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
    filtering, despite our very obvious   
 beaming  of  all  our secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no        one      has       answered

             so why is that?              
                                          
 most  opponents to  intelligent  life in 
 the universe  say it's because you  need 
 a  class  one-or-the-other star and  the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away from the star  (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but   really  isn't  that   keeping  the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think everyone agrees that  we have no 
 idea  what we're  doing (and it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm gonna  go  smoke my third  cigarette 
 this  year and try to  snatch some beers 
        from the local beer thing
