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

Maniacal chirping birds in my ear
I wish you were here
to hear.

Some sort of insect’s nest or insect’s eggs
on the window
reminds me of my fingerprints
showing through the glass
at the diner last night
when I drank and paid attention.

Spread too thin
to break on the backs of tall trees
that (from a distance)
look almost billowy
and pillow-y.

Multi-layers-of-clothing weather.
The wind nails my eyelids shut
and sews that guy’s cigarette to his lips.

(glad I quit)

Never a dull moment
in a world with so many sharp edges.
