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
