The city of Leonia refashions itself every day.
Note
Every morning the people of Leonia wake between fresh sheets, wash with just-unwrapped soap, put on brand-new clothing. On the sidewalks, encased in spotless plastic bags, the remains of yesterday’s Leonia await the garbage truck.
Where the street cleaners take their load each day, nobody asks: outside the city, surely. But year by year the city expands and the dumps must recede further; the volume of refuse grows and the heaps rise, like a chain of mountains dominating the city on every side.
The higher the heap grows, the more the danger of a landslide looms. Touch the city and a new day will begin; touch the heaps, and something will roll down toward Leonia, to remind it of its past.
