Sit -- Vikram Seth

(Poem #195)Sit
 Sit, drink your coffee here; your work can wait awhile.
 You're twenty-six, and still have some of life ahead.
 No need for wit; just talk vacuities, and I'll
 Reciprocate in kind, or laugh at you instead.

 The world is too opaque, distressing and profound.
 This twenty minutes' rendezvous will make my day:
 To sit here in the sun, with grackles all around,
 Staring with beady eyes, and you two feet away.
-- Vikram Seth
