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
