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
