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
