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
