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
