<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;
I find myself in a dusty street, at the boarder crossing of Egypt and some unknown country.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
There is no formality to the crossing, but the street swarms with Egyptian police. They wear blue uniforms and turbans - I have confused Egyptians and Sikhs.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I walk into a &lt;a href=&quot;/title/gutted&quot;&gt;gutted&lt;/a&gt; shop. It is a refuge from the bustling streets despite not having doors or windows. I lie down and try to sleep.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
A noise disturbs me. A policeman is approaching. I am afraid and raise a hand to acknowledge him. He looks down at me and says, &quot;Thou shall not lionize an empty building.&quot;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I apologize and leave. In the crowded streets again, I wonder - what the hell did he mean by that?
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
A sense of having averted disaster overcomes me. I want to find the policeman and thank him profusely.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
As I look back to the store I notice my mother. She is wearing a beautiful dress - she might be going to an opera. Many men are talking to her. I walk up next to her and&amp;hellip;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I was in an office building, holding my cousins new born son (i meet him once, about a year ago).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever i lifted him up the sun rose. Whenever i lowered him the sun set.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I thought this was strange and tried to bring it to the attention of cubical workers. They ignored me and seemed annoyed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My supervisor was &lt;a href=&quot;/title/Pope+Benedict+XVI&quot;&gt;Pope Benedict XVI&lt;/a&gt;. I wanted to talk to him about this, but he was busy on the telephone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I went back into the cubical farm to try my coworkers again. This time when i lifted him up/held him closer i realized everyone else was also holding a baby, very happily, and that they could not be distracted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I went back to my supervisor, and asked his secretary for a meeting. Through his open door i could see he was still engaged, but that he had become angry and was arguing with the person on the other end.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I turned around to look back out into the cubical farm. I felt &lt;a href=&quot;/title/frustrated&quot;&gt;frustrated&lt;/a&gt; and lost. I looked at the baby in my arms and thought about how&amp;hellip;</content>
