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
