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
