Caprine's Dream
Armies of people, the flesh rotting off their bones.  Armies of people sinking into the ground, and others burning, then gone. 
         Then many outwardly beautiful women, and a second thought, the same like comely women being bound and raped by other women who wore bestial fashion.  They held the comely ones for what -at first- appeared to be reasons of jealousy and envy, yet there was a feeling that dominating their captives, to hold and degrade was no unwanted chore for them because they took great pleasure in keeping these women.  They were greatly amused by all they saw, felt and heard as they experimented with their openly, comely captives, which now felt as helpless as their captors felt them to be.  Curiosity would abound.
         Caprine found herself standing upon a smooth stone block, atop many others which she saw were placed there to be walked upon, up and down from a large sand-colored bowl which was full of some kind of matter.  She saw herself arrayed in strange attire and she liked what she saw.  She looked down and saw rows of motionless rams upon the ground, and there was a great building from which came very strange noises.
         As she stood there listening, she slowly began to understand what she was hearing.  But then a girl whose pink skin glistened in the light, stood upon the stone beneath the one on which she was standing.  The girl held a torch out to Caprine and told her to touch the flame to the matter in the bowl.  When she did, the matter lit sending smoke swirling into the air. 
         Caprine was aout to ask the girl where she was but the girl smiled and spoke first.  "I am but partially real.  There are things believed of me, but I was only what I was and am only what I am.  I multiply, but cannot say of myself.  Parts of what I am will be appreciated in time to come, and then the One Who Is will put down much of what is believed of me and give to me a single identity.  Then I will be pleasing to the One Who Is and who has given me personal existence.  Depart not from your chosen way, for behold now, what I show you now."
         Then all at once it was night as Caprine could see stars in the sky, however, they appeared to be moving away from her.  She turned to look behind her, and as she faced the bowl which was no longer lit, she could only see it dimly.  Her eyes began to focus on it, in the dark, but then daylight shown all around her, causing her to squint. 
         When she thought to turn back to the girl, she noticed that no shadows were still, they were moving, disappearing and reappearing elsewhere.  By the time she had turned to face the girl it was again night. 
         The girl pointed into the sky and Caprine saw that stars were there and moving, but they were not all the same stars as before and the day broke her attempt to concentrate on them as they all vanished but that one star of the day.
         Then the girl said to Caprine, "Look beneath you."  When she did, she saw that they were in the air.  And much of the great building had fallen apart.  Again the girl was smiling at Caprine.  And the girl said to her, "This in part is one of the ways in which I shall appear."  The girl turned to her right, leaving her left profile visible to Caprine.  The girl's left hand was held out in a hug like gesture, meant to be of caring and protection, yet Caprine saw it two-dimensionally; Caprine saw it as a handshake into midair.
         The girl had been wearing a see through robe, yet now it was blue.  The girl's mouth moved not, but Caprine heard these words in her voice say, "Hear me, listen then remember."
         With that Caprine found herself in a strange and small room, sitting upright upon something made up of some strange matter which seemed to conform to her weight.  In the room were many things, the likes of which she did not know.  She didn't know what to believe.  But at the sight of a younger Jar, she couldn't for a moment, believe her eyes.  There was Jar, seated upon something in the middle of the room.
         Caprine was facing Jar but Jar was situated facing in another direction and was intently looking at something else. 
         Jar rubbed his lips with the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, and then said Jar, "Getting a little tired of left profiles Caprine?  I've got another one for you, in a moment."  Then he turned his face to her and said, "What's the matter Caprine, feeling couched in?  This will only take a couple minutes."
         Then Jar turned his attention to his mid-section.  Caprine could see that he was holding a black object in the palm of his right hand.  Caprine watched as Jar moved the object to the center of his lap and placed his left hand upon it, his fingers curled.  Caprine gazed at the object in Jar's hands, all the time wondering what he would do next. 
         Jar stared at the object in his hands.  Caprines curiosity grew, she took her eyes off of the object and looked at Jar's face for some expression.  Jar continued to stare at the object, however, he smiled and said, "It would be of help for you to know the meaning of the term index finger." 
         Caprine wanted to understand the meaning of Jar's strange words, and with that in mind she watched Jar pull up a part of the object, unfold it upon his lap and then peer into it.  From where Caprine was sitting she could see that the inside of the now open object was mostly white with black lines of strange figures upon it.
         Jar said, "I see you met Girlfriend.  Girl here has been used as fabricated material.  Don't you know?  I could remind you, but I really only intended to lay down a specific line.  But you first Caprine.  Caprine is a word used as a name.  The word can be defined, but a name can be given simply for the like of its sound.  Caprine of the Goat clan.  Not a goat.  But a woman who is part of those persons which connect the words goat and clan as a title.  Wheras girl here," Jar gripped the obect, firmly with his left hand and then spread his arms apart to express with a gesture the word 'here.' 
         At first Caprine's eyes followed the object in Jar's left hand as a source of wonder to her.  Then Jar touched the object to his mouth, thus focusing her attention on him, and then he repeated the gesture while saying only the word, "Here."
         Caprine knew he meant here where we are.  But where was the girl?  Jar pointed to something in the room and said, "I could actually say there, Girlfriend is presently quite two-dimensional."
         Caprine could see, amongst other things, a partial figure of the girl which to Caprine was ar question.  There was what appeared to be the girl in the same stance as when last seen but no taller than a hand.  Caprine could see the girl from head to waist with the left arm sticking out but, no legs.  Instead she saw what appeared to be the figure of the girl, as stated, yet the girl appeared to be in mid air, yet backed up to something black.  The girl appeared to be backed up upon a line, along with some strange rectangular white thing which had a number of black shapes upon it in the form of a pattern.
         Jar turned back to Caprine and said, "Your thinking is confused, isn't it?"  Jar stood and went over to where he had pointed.  He picked up an identical white thing and showed her how he put them up.  Jar had already placed the black object in front of Caprine and she was now, again, gazing upon it in wonder.
         "Go ahead, pick it up."  Caprine was apprehensive, and when she picked it up she looked at its front, back and sides.  Then she opened it up, however, she couldn't quite figure out what this thing was, in her hands. 
         Jar walked over to Caprine, stared at her and asked, "What are you holding onto?"  Caprine answered, "Something of meaning.  I mean something which gives meaning.  Like the meaning of something."
         Jar, with his right hand, closed the object, reopened it and pointed to one of the black lines of strange characters and said, "In time gone by." 
         Jar went back to the figure of the girl and leaned over, graspng the hand of the figure of the girl and bent it back.  Then he asked, "What do you see Caprine?"  From a distance, Caprine could see that upon the palm of the figure of the girl was more strange figures. 
         "The girl's got a real card to represent the girl's being, but secondly, let me read the girl's palm." said Jar.  Jar let go of the figure of the girl's hand and it moved back into place.  And he said, "And a true God his memory." 
         Then he smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, that's what I like about it.  I've enjoyed the little get-togehter, yet now I've got to put you back into the context of the past.
