Italio calvino Invisible Cities Response

Details are meaningless unless given them. To describe the stairs that have no story is a waste of words. If the stairs mark a part of the history of that which they lead then go and describe them. If they are simply the means to an end of someone moving up and down then contemplate the importance of that person moving up and down. Cities have stories. Locations have stories. Even those locations that are mirrored have stories. Mirrored cities are not equal as one is always the inverse of the other. One will be the reflection of the other. One exists before the other but one exists because of the other. If two copies of something change on their own and then go and copy the other one’s changes which ones a copy? Is either truly a copy? Does this back and forth of repeating the other make them identical or different?
