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
