    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

Doctors prescribe illness
long enough to stay in business.
Finished out the work week without wisdom teeth.
(take that, motherfuckers!)
Now most, if not all, of the pain is gone.
Today I drank through a straw.

After I shut my bedroom door,
I could’ve sworn I heard a little girl behind me say, “Hello?”
though there was no one else home,
just me and the dogs
and dogs can’t talk.

A mission easy to retreat from.
Black and white life.
More than enough fear to keep you warm.

Rebels sticking to bus seats,
talking hard to women with good intentions
and their zippers down.

Doctors prescribe illness.
(We were framed. We were all framed.)

A cold shock to the system.
Duct tape your shoe picked up when you cut across
the construction site waving goodbye.

Or was it hello?

Like the girl I couldn’t see
in my bedroom said, “Hello?"
