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
