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
