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
