Neighbor.
Whoever speaks here is the man from 1003. The other day I received, to my dismay, a visit from the caretaker, who showed me the letter in which you complained about the noise in my apartment.. .. I apologize — and promise silence.
But let me be allowed to dream of another life and another world, in which a man knocks on another man's door and says: “Neighbor, it's three o'clock in the morning and I've heard music in your house. Here I am". And the other answered: “Come in, neighbor, and eat my bread and drink my wine. Here we are all dancing and singing, as we discovered that life is short and the moon is beautiful”.
Rubem Braga. 100 Chosen Chronicles. Rio de Janeiro: José Olímpio, 1953.
