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
