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)
