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
