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
