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
