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
