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

She didn’t just put the cigarette out,
she made love to the ashtray.
The jukebox wasn’t just broken,
it was forcing me to think.

With the exception of the girl on roller skates
everybody in the place was a skin and straps
identity crisis.
Somehow she had class.

A bar is a watering trough for drunks and pigs.
We give it new meaning by gracing it with our presence
and making it ours, but it’s still the same old trough.

I wonder how many people here
have sober friends elsewhere
thinking about them.

I wonder if the huge mirror behind me
has aliens or doctors behind it.

I wonder why I never bring a designated driver
like I promised myself I would
when I was in fourth grade learning about drugs
and alcohol.

Different night. Same place.
Same people. Different names.

The worst thing about being a writer
is getting an idea and losing it
before you can find paper.
