CALVINO-ITALO-INVISiBLE CITIES Trading Cities 2


The poem “Trading Cities2” talks about the great city Chloe.  Chloe people move through the streets but they are all stranger to each other.  Everyone has different ideas about the other person. No one greets anyone. A girl, a woman, and a tattooed giant come along but something was running among them. Even though it is for several seconds, the writer believe that these people have an eye contact with each other which are like arrows, stars or like triangles..When some people find themselves together for to do something, they are all consummated among them without any word exchanged, any physically contact or even almost eye contact.
Briefly, Calvino explains about the strange position that people face in their daily life. My opinion is, I’m sure it always happens to us. We think what the people around us thinking about while we walk down the streets. We look the other peoples’ eyes for a second or they do that to you. The most interesting part is, we never know how to react on that moment. It’s kind of weird moment that sometimes makes us smile but sometimes nervous.
