    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

Just a position
a creaky hinge I meant to oil
acting as a doorbell.
The ugly hours can’t hide from me
I’m onto those motherfuckers
pretending to be asleep on the couch in my underwear.
Just pretending.

I catch ‘em like rabbits
in bear traps
fast and sad and grotesque
pale and powerful
making noises I’ve never heard before.

I pin ‘em to Styrofoam boards
putting labels below them with their names:

“3:24”
“4:17”
“4:53”

If I were still in grade school
I could take them in for Show ‘N Tell
and talk about the various species
and wingspans.
