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
