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
