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)
