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
