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
