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)
