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
