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
