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
