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
