Vad menas egentligen med skal?
Är det ett hölje, något man psykiskt gömmer eller lika konkret som ett äggskal?
Varför vill man ha ett skal, vilket slag det nu än är? Kanske är man väldigt missnöjd med sin personlighet och vill vara någon annan, kanske tycker man att man är ful och sminkar sig mycket, eller så vill man kanske bara fly och slår in sig själv.
Har gräs också skal, eller djur? Och vad finns på undersidan isåfall?
Jag tror alla har något de vill gömma undan, något eller någon del av en själv man helst vill ska smälta bort. Men vi är olika bra på att dölja det. Jag vill inte ha något skal, hölje eller något annat.
Men jag har mycket jag vill gräva ner, mycket.
Idag sken inte solen. Då sjunker mitt hjärta.

Det här är inte riktigt samma sak, men jag tänkte på den här texten direkt. Talking Heads, Seen and not Seen:
He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books.
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him.
And through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his mind
Or somewhere in the back of his mind
That he might, by force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal.
The change would be very subtle
It might take ten years or so
Gradually his face would change its' shape
A more hooked nose
Wider, thinner lips.
Beady eyes
A larger forehead.
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other people.
They had also molded their faces according to some ideal.
Maybe they imagined that their new face would better suit their personality
Or maybe they imagined that their personality would be forced to change to fit the new appearance
This is why first impressions are often correct
Although some people might have made mistakes
They may have arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish whim, or momentary impulse
Some may have gotten half-way there, and then changed their minds.
He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake
