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
