Sit
Sit, drink your coffee here; your work can wait awhile.Seth is brilliant. His control over language - its simplicity and his skill in creating an atmosphere, is unmatched. Maybe except by Piet Hien.
You're twenty-six, and still have some life ahead.
The world is too opaque, distressing and profound.
No need for wit; just talk vacuities, and I'll
Reciprocate in kind, or laugh at you instead.
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.
