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
