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
