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)
