Red Hurts

It's an old trick really. Last night, rather than write this, I went to sleep, knowing that I'd dream this. (Dream) It's a trick within a trick, really. I know if I let the wall fall over, the hollowed-out portion of the wall will allow an entire building to be left standing, emerging from the center, someplace in Italy. Its a trick within a trick within a trick, I realize. It's a Korean who tips the hollowed-out wall over, leaving a building standing, not an Italian. (Fin) Waking up in some confusion, I lie on my bed for twelve minutes trying to reconstruct the dream that seems to be collapsing around me, and I suddenly see it's a trick within a trick within a trick within a trick, because it's not an Italian building left standing by a Korean in a dream for this essay written in a different word processor, then cut-and-pasted to here that's left standing ... It's me!
