Sit Poem by Vikram Seth

Sit

Rating: 3.1


Sit, drink your coffee here; your work can wait awhile.
You're twenty-six, and still have some 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.

the world is not opaque to every eye neither is it a credible idea not to move beyond the concept of real time and count ages like they are well deined numbers.
