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
