Tuesday Poem
///
Sit
Vikram Seth
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.

And I indeed have coffee in my hands.
I love "The world is too opaque." And how conversational this is (and the unforced rhymes).
