I would have posted earlier but I haven't been able to access TTB for over a month.

I'm still reeling from Spot's death

Maybe I'll find words after the Holidays

Well, its entertaining although like any discussion it feels random and its hard to connect the dots. It makes me wish for nostalgia cause not even nostalgia is what it used to be.

entertaining works for me. Trying to imagine a poem about nostalgia being something else.

Imagine if Obama lit up a cigarette, live on camera, while he was still in office. It would have made the front page.

I like the first four lines but after that its a lot of references I dont understand.

If I read the last six lines as referring to childhood, I enjoy them. If I read them as referring to a kind of global trend, then I just cant relate to it.

Also it kind of jars me because surely people actually do remember what they did for fun? Perhaps you're trying to convey some underlying message but I feel I've gone too far into conjecture at that point.
