あざとくも 人の気を惹き 奇を衒ふ ビルの壁には 浅はかな知恵
令和四年九月八日
昨日都内歩けば新たに建ちたる小さきビル一棟あり
如何でか知らずビルの壁はタコの吸盤の如き鉄の輪にて覆はれたり
古き西洋の鎖帷子(くさびかたびら)か
ただ奇を衒(てら)ひし浅はかな知恵のなしたる技ならむ
When I was walking in Tokyo under a cloudy sky yesterday, I saw a new small building.
I don't know why, but the walls of the building were covered with many small iron rings like octopus suckers.
It looked like an old western chain armor too.
It's a decoration that can be done by superficial wisdom that just pretended to be eccentric.
