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
