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
