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
