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
