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
