I've lived in Poland for 12 years and I've met folk from every corner of this
land, from every little village.
I've known folk from Zławieś Wielka and Długie Pole, Gdańsk, Będzin,
Wadowice, Poznań, all the wee places near Proszowice that even the villagers
of Proszowice have never heard of, people that were born near lakes, beside
the beach, between mountains, I've been in places that aren't on maps and met
there people from places that aren't on other maps. I've been in Zielona Góra
and 25 other places that start with Z, in Słubice I met folk from Szczecin, I
drank with Rzeszowians in Gliwice and I've even bumped into people from the
swamps of the North East where there aren't any people. I know plenty of
people who've worked in Warsaw, I've even been there myself.
But I've never met anyone who comes from Warsaw.
Everyone in Warsaw complains that everyone else in Warsaw is an incomer.
Maybe.
It seems there is nobody from Warsaw either inside or outside Warsaw. But
maybe everybody (except some actors and politicians) is ashamed of being from
Warsaw.
