Characters: Angel

Out There

Angel: Safe behind these walls and these parapets of steel, gazing at the people down below me. All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone, hungry for the histories that shun me. All my life I memorize their faces, knowing them as they will never know me. All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day, not above them, but part of them, and out there! Living in the sun, give me one day out there, all I ask is one, to hold forever, out there, where they all live unaware, what I'd give, what I'd dare just to live one day out there!

Angel: Out there, among the millers and the weavers and their wives, through the roofs and gables I can see them. Ev'ry day they shout, scold and go about their lives, even as if it is a gift to be them! If I was in their skin, I'd treasure every instance, out there, strolling by the Seine, taste the morning out there, like ordinary men, who freely walk about there, just one day and then I swear I'll be content with my share. Won't resent! Won't despair! Old and bent, I won't care! I'll have spent! One! Day out! There!
