歩道橋を渡り終え、地面の歩道を歩く。
駅へ向かう人々の姿がある。
出勤や登校の時刻なのだろう。
途中、物置小屋の入り口のような通路があり
そこへ子どもたちが入っていく。
私も見習って入ろうとする。
すぐ後ろに小学生の女の子がいて
前の子の友だちらしいので、先をゆずる。
「ありがとうございます」
と礼を述べる女の子に続いて通路に入る。
じつに安っぽい造りで、幅も狭い。
ベニヤ板で組み立てた張りぼてのようだ。
太った人は通り抜けられない気がする。
狭い通路は階段へと続く。
その出口がまた狭い。
やっと通り抜けたか、と思ったら
そこは寝袋の中だった。
自作自演。
Narrow Passage
After crossing the pedestrian bridge,
I walk on the sidewalk on the ground.
There are people heading to the station.
Maybe it's time to go to work or go to school.
Along the way, there is a passage like the entrance
to a storage shed, where children enter.
I also try to emulate.
There's an elementary school girl right behind her,
and she seems to be a friend of her former child,
so I give her ahead of her.
"Thank you."
Following the girl who thanked me like that,
I entered the aisle.
It's really cheap and narrow.
It looks like a paper decoration assembled from plywood.
I feel that fat people cannot pass through here.
The narrow passage leads to the stairs.
The exit is narrow again.
When I finally thought I was going through it,
it was in my sleeping bag.
