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

Saw through a quarter of a punch-drunk tired eye
in a sliding greasy mirror, the remnants of a young man
redundant and here before.

Scratch across the scab on your neck
to alter the shape of your boring body.

Not everything needs to be sad or clever
not everything needs to be profound or thought-provoking.
Some things are just beautiful.
Some things are just things.

And if the blood stains this shirt, it was meant to be.
It was too white before.
And if there’s blood on my pillow when I wake up,
I was thinking too hard while I slept
or losing a fight in my dream.

You want to swallow this night
this whole goddamn town
and spit it back out in song.
I want to line up empty bottles one by one
and build a small scale model of the Great Wall
and knock it down.

Indians 0 / Cowboys 1
some things are just things.
