Scrawled into notebooks from the familiar comforts of temporary homes and the passenger seats of mechanically unsound vehicles adrift on the highways and back roads of America, Perfect Sleeping Weather is fifteen years of thoughts, observations, facts, and fictions hammered into a collection of poetry that, according to one reader, "sounds like a sigh."

In this, his first book, writer/drummer/comedian Larry Fulford reflects on the usual -- life, death, love and leaving -- while still managing to name-check Van Halen. Twice.

lyrics

It roared to life
the engine sank
and the jungle threw its vines
like snake hands
into my eyes,
pulled me behind a garbage can
and drove staples into my fingernails
so I could scream more violently
down chalkboards.

[quick pace between buildings
the cold chases the balls back]

It roared to life
and the lady said to herself
and to other ladies later,

“That man in that car writing must (‘ve) be (en) crazy.”

She’ll slip on something soon enough,
something to get her hair wet
and make her think straight.
