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
