The flat is a hallway you can touch both walls of, and one partition that carries everything.
This place is a hangar with a roof forty feet up and nothing in it that carries.

At home a raised voice arrives in every room at once and stays in them.
Here a hundred kilos comes off the pins onto rubber, and it is a noise,
and then it is over,
and nobody walks the length of the floor to find out what it meant.
