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
