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
