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
