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
