I will never let you
keep the accent lamp
in the kitchen.
There’s
pans,
and pots,
and spoons,
and knives.
Cutting boards are littered with chives.
The wine we have is Spanish,
and the cheese we have is French,
and the rug we have is Turkish,
and the steaks are made from deer.
But the accent lamp?
It’s not going to be here.
