a            
      fermi's paradox       
                          
                                          
 there's too  little apparent life in the 
         universe         
        omega point         
         it'-a       
                                          
                  ther                  
   there's probably a point   
 (they tell me so;  the ones  i talk  to, 
 the   ones  untouched   by  our   mortal 
                emptiness)                
                                          
 there's  probably  a point where we  try 
 too much. the  fey are curious  like us, 
 or mor  a  "killer fact", something 
 that a  species that isn't curious  will 
                never find                
                                          
 but  something  that  a  species that is 
 curious  is bound  (in the fey sense) to 
                  explore                 
                                          
 the  keyword here is safety margin - 
 it  will  look like  any other force, it 
 will  fit in the  puzzle, safe to bend - 
 but  it wont  be,  and the  second  they 
                  try...                  
                                          
            and sot             
 hey look at us  and our planet and  they 
                  lauh                 
 ause we're next...
