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
