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
