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
