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
