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
