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
