Poem #23: Four Senryu

.
.
.
Crock full of wooden spoons;
I can stir things up
as long as they're not on fire.
.
.
.
Radio on all night.
Fervid pundits put me to sleep,
but I wake to a light rain.
.
.
.
She insisted she was chaste,
but the ethics of her perfume said
leather, smoke, bruised lilac.
.
.
.
The oxygen machine has
a 30-foot hose.
Beyond that, you're in your own atmosphere.
.
