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
