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

Two girls have walked a block
and left silhouettes on the DON’T WALK sign.

Low-ride drivers zipped by
close enough to tear hair
from their arms.

Drop change in the meter, please, and hurry back.
All these dynamite sticks waving
and giving each other hugs
make me cringe.

I don’t want to blow up

by the broken plants
on the waist-high wall
with glasses on
and knees drawn to my chest.

If suddenly Elvis were to appear across the street
on the courthouse roof
playing a ukulele
trying not to cry,
I would nod to The King and shed a tear.

On behalf of my generation
I would like to apologize.
