I kaosets virvlar är det några tankar som stannar kvar lite
längre innan jag tappar taget om dem. Men jag minns.
1)
Stålverk
Underbart begrepp. Något att hålla sig i när resten av
världen ter sig omförhandlingsbar och relativ.
2)
Glasspinne
Har sett likadan ut och varit av bokträ så länge det funnits
pinnglass. Det måste ju vara det snällaste föremålet. Olika individer har olika
trygghetsskapande föremål från barndomen, men jag tror att alla kan enas om att
just glasspinnen är överlägsen etta på Sverigelistan bland underskattade
föremål som skapar positiva associationer. Jag må vara överkänslig, men jag
överfölls av en sådan tacksamhet och glädje när jag häromdagen såg en
glasspinne slängd på trottoaren. Så välbekant!

Den primalaste meningen! Innehåller ett förstapersons-subjekt,
ett andrapersons-objekt och en handling: ”Jag skall döda dig!”
Jodå. Det var the Shining härhemma i veckan. En mushanne
GNAGDE sig igenom skiljeväggen till nästa bur enbart för att komma åt och läxa
upp grannen. Helst döda. Det blir så tydligt vilka instinkter som styr. När man
når ner till det primala. När träning och social fernissa inte spelar någon
roll.
För övrigt sjunger hanarna högfrekventa låtar som vi
människor inte hör, för att locka till sig honorna i de andra burarna. De
sitter ju fast där (Inga mera musbarn nu!) men grannskapets vilda honmöss
flockas kring vår altandörr. De är inte ens skygga. Drifternas makt.
Tonårsbrudarna ringer på dörren på framsidan och tjejmössen
köar på baksidan.

Lou Reed sjunger mig till sömns när jag helt
utmattad av alla som jag tagit i handen under dagen, försöker sortera ägarna
till händerna i fack.
Faces and names, I wish they were the
same
Faces and names only cause trouble for me
Faces and names
If we all looked the same and we all had the same name
I wouldn't be jealous of you or you jealous of me
Faces and names
I always fall in love with someone who looks
The way I wish that I could be
I´m always staring at someone who hurts
And the one they hurt is me
Faces and names, to me they're all the same
If I looked like you and you looked like me
There ´d be less trouble you see
Faces and names, I wish they ´d go away
I ´d disappear into that wall and never talk
Talk, not talk
I wish I was a robot or a machine
Without a feeling or a thought
People who want to meet the name I have
Are always disappointed when they meet me
Faces and names, I wish they were the same
Faces and names only cause problems for me
Faces and names
I ´d rather be a hole in the wall
Looking out on the other side
I ´d rather look and listen, listen and not talk
To faces and names
If I had a breakdown when I was a kid
I lost my hair when I was young
If you dress older when you're not
As you really age you look the same
If we all looked the same, we wouldn't play these games
Me dressing for you and you dressing for me
Undressing for me
Faces and names, if they all were the same
You wouldn't be jealous of me or me jealous of you
Me jealous of you, me jealous of you
Your face and your name
Your face and your name
Faces and names
Faces and names
Faces and names only cause trouble for me
Faces and names
If we all looked the same and we all had the same name
I wouldn't be jealous of you or you jealous of me
Faces and names
I always fall in love with someone who looks
The way I wish that I could be
I´m always staring at someone who hurts
And the one they hurt is me
Faces and names, to me they're all the same
If I looked like you and you looked like me
There ´d be less trouble you see
Faces and names, I wish they ´d go away
I ´d disappear into that wall and never talk
Talk, not talk
I wish I was a robot or a machine
Without a feeling or a thought
People who want to meet the name I have
Are always disappointed when they meet me
Faces and names, I wish they were the same
Faces and names only cause problems for me
Faces and names
I ´d rather be a hole in the wall
Looking out on the other side
I ´d rather look and listen, listen and not talk
To faces and names
If I had a breakdown when I was a kid

If you dress older when you're not
As you really age you look the same
If we all looked the same, we wouldn't play these games
Me dressing for you and you dressing for me
Undressing for me
Faces and names, if they all were the same
You wouldn't be jealous of me or me jealous of you
Me jealous of you, me jealous of you
Your face and your name
Your face and your name
Faces and names
Faces and names
