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
