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
