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
