We are naked
today, which is really
yesterday’s tomorrow,
but yesterday’s yesterday
was a nudiustertian
and we were fully clothed.
I am not sure what dictionary you use but nudiustertian is an adjective and the definition is "relating to the day before yesterday"

Her clothes made an assertion but they hadn't much to say
As her nudiustertian fashion looked dated yesterday.
Thanks, I copied that from a website, but wouldn't that line stand as is, with the adjective form?

Yesterday's yesterday is the day before yesterday and it is a nudiustrian day.

nudiustertian: adj. – relating to the day before yesterday

We are naked
today, which is really
yesterday’s tomorrow,
but yesterday’s yesterday
was a nudiustertian kind of day
and we were fully clothed.
