This from 3/22/10, 7 Nissan 5770, week ov Tzav, continues to explore the place of the Jew in consciousness. "The Jew" is such a mythically charged idea that to understand anti-Semitism (and certain aspects of philo-Semitism) requires more, much more, than just a knowledge of politics, history, and religions.
I Am In Yuez
I am in yuez, but I am not yuez.
I the standen az the dorren yur Seel.
Wen yu open that dorz, yu a let me inz.
The vizhennaerz ammung yuez, report ov my seez.
“O wunness o goudness o divvine harmenneez!”
Wen that dorren openz all ov itsell,
I louks inside an shout akross yur waeslanz
Reporten sumz ov my seez in yu.
Trembenz and wunderz shake yur grownd.
Yu kannot a standen tu my ups and downz.
An Aenjel a Deth I am for the dyen.
Hu groen week, say I korrup thaer kine.
Thay see almoes nuthen, the massez a bliend.
Hu aspiyern tu Godz kallen me saevyaer.
Hem standen in Tempel kallz me khuvvaer*.
