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
