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
