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
