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
