Perfect Sleeping Weather (the book) (signed)
Price includes shipping to anywhere in the US.

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's hotter in the Philippines tonight
than it is in Florida,
with Jesus' shoulder to cry on there
and me sitting in a bulldozer here,
pointed at a playground I vaguely remember
and a church I have one memory of.

“Father Abraham had many sons /
many sons had Father Abraham /
I am one of them and so are you /
so let's all praise the Lord, right arm!”

what did it even mean?
ushered in with the fear that the stained glass angels
might actually start blowing their trumpets
and the windows would shatter
and they would fly off.
harmless enough, but still scary.

I am not certified to operate this bulldozer
nor was I authorized to “borrow” it.
took my glasses off to keep the headlights
of passing cars from giving away my position.

I want the cops to come before I start this thing up
but I'm sure they have better things to do.

if they'd only show up though,
I'd gladly climb down and into one of their cars
(hopefully one with AC)
without a fuss or a single word.
and I'd sleep in the back while they drove in circles.
