Through a rear window impatiently awaiting a cast removal sits a voyeur by day protagonist at night before him framed by painted window cases a show of neighbourly events unfolded a day in the life an athletic Miss Torso in constant flexion before an open window who could meet anybody she liked extended thighs in plain daylight Neighbours are supposed to love one another today, to look at one seems a real bother within a stone's throw Miss Lonely Hearts, the floor below she'd pour herself a glass of bourbon to sleep the lack of a man was cause to weep and the lady which lived above them all launched their dog in a pulley run basket which later killed ended up in a casket lamented on the horrors of shared court neighbours are supposed to love one another today, to look at one seems a real bother what of the honeymoon couple in a first abode her constant want of him wasn't his lode where screens covered apartment lairs he'd pull one up to surface for air a sculptress nighbour, her statue called hungry advised lawn maintenace, got salesman angry, neighbours are supposed to love one another today, to look at one seems a real bother The salesman who ended up caught in view disposal of his wife embroiled him in a stew tried to pawn off the wife's ring and effects her absence supported view of his coarse defect. In full view, one day after the next who lives aside might be sighted as vexed neighbours are supposed to love one another today, to look at one seems a real bother.

Hitchcock depicted well the dilemma of living in proximity of one another, albeit it was from the standpoint of voyeurism. Ironically that voyeur turned out to be crime solver. Maybe the idea of lovely neighbourhoods is just a myth...and it's always what you make of it... Maybe one shouldn't take the term voyeur for just face value..especially if there is a neighbourhood watch in your area. |

Can't say that this didn't get to me. There's just got to be some common binding that causes neighbors to be worth a little bother. Where are the commonalities? Quite a puzzle, I'm sure. Enjoyed your thoughts and writing. miscellanea |
