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
