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
