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
