- For "so it is,"
Imma dummy. "В самом деле" does the trick.
- I also struggled with conveying the idea of "what if x?"
"Что, если" or, in this context, "Вдруг" should do the trick.
- Что, если вещи вокруг тебя
Горящий шелом?
Что, если знакомые изгибы
Оказались сном?
The "горящий шелом" is the reference to the Russian saying "На воре и шапка горит", "шелом" being the old Slavic spelling of "шлем", 'helmet'. It's a convoluted outcry to the English "liar, liar, pants on fire" from my tired brain.
