Mystical powers that helped
get this issue out:Impersonating the way people walk; the
late José José blowing everyone away with
“El Triste” in March 1970, at age 22; a cold-
chasing golden milk elixir; combining pumpkin
and banana to produce life-sustaining sea-
sonal snacks; the tabby cat by my Muni stop
giving a look that portends the day’s fate;
“All Mirrors,” by Angel Olsen; lasering away
the cataract from my 31-year-old eye; vodka-
fueled howling at the harvest mooooooon;
taking a moon breath to help make a big
decision; when I move my eyes really quickly,
wispy smoke clouds my vision—the world’s
worst superpower; a comfortablebed and
massive amounts of tea; overcoming the
distracting charms of a needy Abyssinian
cat; leveraging telekinesis to wedge aboard
my commuter train; Ryan and Mike’s other-
worldly shakshuka.
