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)
