Spell for Nostalgists 




Polaroid/vinyl nostalgia







for nostalgia itself 







It’s the instaconjuring of a feeling



fingertips awash







Kids these days 







pressin’ a time-machine 







               
#yesfilter 







                  me
too 







“Look, I made my day



                          so old”







True, it’s already over







nostalgio



         the projected
missing



of the present 







you’re not fucked you’re lucky







Does the wish to be “in life”



reappear?







                     Wanna move to







Detroit?           Milwaukee,



Escondido
