I'm writing from Cairo at the moment ... no minister has knocked on my hotel door. I'm distressed!

> Last night I dreamed that I flew to Egypt. When I arrived at the airport I
> was met by Anwar Sadat, apparently now an ordinary citizen, since he had no
> entourage. At customs and immigration, an official asked all the poets to
> line up separately. So a group of a half dozen or so people got out of the
> line and gathered at another place in the airport. I arrived last among them
> and boldly and sneakily placed myself at the head of their line, but for some
> reason I was interviewed last anyway. An official asked each of us whether
> our poems were available on the internet, then led each poet in turn to a
> computer to check out that person's poems. I waited anxiously for my turn,
> wondering whether the traditional Arab respect for poetry would outweigh in my
> favor the potentially controversial political and erotic content of certain of
> my pieces. Before my turn came I woke up.
