Ray is angry at the wind
Knowing that it carried ill intentions

and the last bent screw
that held the twisted storm door
was cursed for being stubborn

The drill was temperamental
and the tail gate was kicked
on account of its spitefulness

It is Monday and Ray knows
it's going to be a rough week

He knows that God is testing him.

I wanted to ask...
If there had been a meeting
between Ray and his god...
with the wind and the door,
the screw, tail gate, drill
and the week all in attendance...
In which he had learned of this testing ?

But...
I cannot talk to Ray
when he is like this
and standing with a screwdriver
held in a tightly clinched fist...

Believing that he has hands
