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
