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...
