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
