"Every Man being conscious to himself, That he thinks, and that which his Mind is employ'd about whilst thinking, being the Ideas, that are there, 'tis past doubt, that Men have in their Minds several Ideas, such as are those expressed by the words, Whiteness, Hardness, Sweetness, Thinking, Motion, Man, Elephant, Army, Drunkenness, and others: It is in the first place then to be inquired, How he comes by them? I know it is a received Doctrine, That Men have native Ideas, and original Characters stamped
upon their Minds, in their very first Being."
John Locke
An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690).
"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
