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
