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
