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 wanted her to ask for change
she never did.
Too busy hanging her head over the railing
observing maybe
or thinking about jumping.

The coin return abused its power
and outside, between seats in her car,
I’m sure she had it —
change, I mean
not power —

and it multiplied at drive-thru windows.

For all the stars, no one could imagine
who she wanted to call so bad.
Such a lucky person
at what could’ve been
the end of a lucky line.

And what if she needed a ride?

It couldn’t be me.
I was too busy
hanging my head and thinking
about writing
about jumping.
