Nostalgia Act

nostalgia attacks integrity

nostalgia makes an ugly girl pretty

nostalgia makes the unfunny witty

nostalgia blurs the facts, 

rearing its head at a group chat

on a table reservation for six

reminiscing about times 

that didn’t exist, apologies 

if I’m sounding at all sceptical,

I don’t look back on life 

wearing rose-tinted spectacles
