Love this (and what a name!). I thought I knew all the esoteric beat generation crew but clearly not. He's got Beat Generation Bukowski vibes. November woebegone as he may have been, his 2 good balls served him well for he outlasted the other best minds of his generation.

Never mind the high cholesterol and anal psoriasis, Harold, you made it 92.

Here's to your posthumous recognition

His last words reportedly were “The end is the beginning”

In November I read your poem "In November"

In November I discovered that there's a badass poet like you living in my neighborhood

In November I discovered that there's a writer called Harold Norse who exists though he feels otherwise

In November as I am reading your work you're resurrecting from the cradle of insignificance

And in November you have been remembered.

Damn, it's only November 3. I enjoyed reading this. I hope this particular November is past, or fictional, or at least greatly improves from here.
