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
