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
