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
