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
