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
