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
