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
