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
