Just straight knees

Sundays and Mondays
The identical teacup
The same sunrays
No shades of gestures
No laughter
To react to the stir 
From the slightly 
open window 
Only the threat 
From the scriptural gates 
Submerge the vessel
Into the ocean
Avoid the slip
Remove the bees
Just straightened knees
And the tranquil sea
