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
