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
