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
