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
