The Happy Birthday of Death Quotes

“Henry Hudson Screamed on the Half-Moon :
"Police are a necessary evil !"

I dreamed a cop, an old cop,
a whitehaired cop bowed sad on a sofa
knowing in his years he carried a gun
a gun to stop the breath of a breathing being
a gun to cause man to push up daisies forever -
and when that realization mowed him down on the sofa
- he wept to know man”
― Gregory Corso, The Happy Birthday of Death

“Faithless lyricists I have read
They'd amputate a rose to know a rose
- and patch it a clumsy detection”
― Gregory Corso, The Happy Birthday of Death
