Copper bracelets are back along with copper tankards and crystals and tinctures and everything just as the almanacs all quit publishing. Tin foil Silver beanies against all the negative waves, man. I take a mushroom brew against forgetting science swears by with a long list of first name testimonials. I’m waiting for the Hadacol comeback; better yet that Bayer cough syrup with cannabis and heroin. Perhaps I’ll have an absinthe and pretend it’s paregoric from my mother.
