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

I’ll remember the siding of a Winnebago
when asked to recall our first night together.
And the thousand yard stares
of drunks slicing through the smoke
like haphazard lighthouses
manned by ghosts,

the way every car that drove by
wasn’t my ride,
the wristbands assuring lonely bartenders
that I was legal
stacking up side by side
like odds over evens
and the sympathy of rush hour.

I’ll shrug off all attempts
at convincing myself to believe
in fate with an, “I’m just glad I was still
sober enough to notice,”

but in those minutes before sleep
when you order hope with a side
of dreams,

I’ll believe.
