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
