Uncle History’s cousin, Nostalgia
Calls him on the cephalopod telephone
(Its a sort of deep sea communication)
Anyway, cousin wants to know
When the old ways will be returning
Women doing mindless work
Men eating straight from trees
Etcetera etcetera
But Uncle’s answering service
Takes the call, says—
“Sorry we’re not at home,
We’re out somewhere
Looking for future nostalgias…”
