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
