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
