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
