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
