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
