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
