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
