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
