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

in the morning we'll rest on our elbows and laurels
watching The Price is Right.
immunity is my Ace in the hole,
the Bicycle Spade Ace
with all the card manufacturer information on it.

neither will speak
neither will have to
the city’s lights will blink and keep time overnight
until the rest of its people are awake.

there'll be a smile and a hug,
not a handshake.
handshakes are for doctors.

the soundtrack to another film
is the soundtrack to right now
whether I like it or not.
whether or not you hear it too.

all I need is for John Cusack to show up
and for it to start raining
and I'll be able to enjoy the drive home.
