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
