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
