hear the man upstairs.  It sounds like he has gone crazy, throwing things and laughing, crash cackle wheezy chest rattle.  screaming blue murder like an outspoken argument with himself, he fights both sides so always wins.  Whilst those of us who over hear without a choice are the losers in a battle of sound-proofing. he makes noises I have never heard before and thumps his floor with such a bang I think my ceiling might fall in.  I think he is having a break down. he protests loudly on the telephone telling the unheard speaker that it's not his fucking fault and don't you think you're being too loud now, it's not his fucking fault and shut up shut up shut up! and his voice booms out across the water, reflects back on ripples and in through my open window.  He laughs and snorts to a comedy on TV but I'm never sure which station he is watching as nothing is that funny to me.  and on Sunday morning before the sun rises he is happy, so happy, so top volume Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head springs out from his stereo accompanied by his own joyous noise he thinks is singing, droning pierce in out of key out of time out of disregard for other's sleep or peace and the screeches fall like scalpel blades on my ears.  cutting up my quiet into tatters of splattered sound.  It's nice to hear him happy I suppose.  But for now i wait for winter when the windows will be closed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34896488-7598289200729519659?l=c-rea-tions.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://c-rea-tions.blogspot.com/feeds/7598289200729519659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34896488&amp;postID=7598289200729519659' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34896488/posts/default/7598289200729519659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34896488/posts/default/7598289200729519659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://c-rea-tions.blogspot.com/2007/09/through-open-window.html' title='through the open window'/><author><name>Red</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17919059384345147533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34896488.post-7688936097945144823</id><published>2007-09-08T13:36:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-09-08T13:49:50.599+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='word play c-rea-tions'/><title type='text'>thought becomes language</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;pre style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;thought becomes language through a process of willing&lt;br /&gt;communication.
