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
