Procopia (Continuous Cities 3)

“Not that it is easy for me to move. There are twenty-six of lodged in my room... a;; very polite people. luckily.”

[seeingcalvino]

"Each year in the course of my travels I stop at Procopia and take lodgings in the same room in the same inn. . . Each year, as soon as I entered the room, I raised the curtain and counted more faces; sixteen, including those down in the ditch; twenty-nine, of whom eight were perched in the medlar; forty-seven, beside those in the chicken house. They look alike, they seem polite, they have freckles on their cheeks, they smile, some have lips stained by blackberries. Soon I saw the whole bridge filled with round-faced characters, huddled, because they had no more room to move in; they chomped the kernels of corn, then they gnawed on the ears."
