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
