POSHLUST:
Banality; something that is in bad taste or trashy or cheap.
Often poshlust disguises itself as something great, true or beautiful.
"The obviously trashy but also the falsely important, the falsely beautiful, the falsely attractive."
-Nabokov

Toss in slumber, there is a static mind in the shivers under the covers.
Martin in particular came to the conclusion that man was born to endure either the convulsions of anxiety or the lethargy of boredom. Pangloss conceded that he had suffered horribly, all his life, but having once maintained that everything was going splendidly he would continue to do so, while believing nothing of the kind.
Candide by Voltaire

Yeah, the settlers laugh,
You won’t be laughing when your covered wagons crash. You won’t be laughing when the buzzards drag your brother’s flags into rags. You won’t be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs. You won’t be laughing!
And I’ll hang my boots to rest when I’m impressed, so I triple knot ‘em and forgot ‘em.
This origami dream is beautiful, but man, those wings’ll never leave the ground without a feather and a lottery ticket,
Now settle down.

The next time you see me on the street you can be sure I’m in my own world.
