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)
