Sit.. by 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.
