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
