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
