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
