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
