DUMBER THAN DUMB


The ox knows its owner,
and the donkey its master’s crib,
but Israel does not know,
my people do not understand.
Isaiah 1:3
Flaming in the sky,
filling the temple,
they knew him.

Thundering at Sinai,
shouted from Gerazim and Ebal,
they heard him.

Still,
self and selves yelled louder;
intellect dimmed,
relationship broken
and Israel became
dumber than dumb.
