You have the most wonderful bum Anna

Yours is better

No I disagree

You move from the hips

You glide as you walk

Your backside has a theatre of its own

 

I think my bum is too rounded

Yours is beautifully angular

And you have the most beautiful legs

 

Why for heaven’s sake are we discussing our bums

Outlaw is not even here

It is all about the male gaze you know

Even from afar he is manipulating us

 

Where is Outlaw

In Lima

Who is Lima

Olive’s sister

 

Anna

Yes

Are you not a little tired of Outlaw controlling us

I have never really thought about it

Well I have and I think that he is a control freak

A typical man

He created us Anna

He gave us this wonderful house

He gave us each other

Without Outlaw we would not exist

 

Anna

I am doing the crossword

Beloved of John nine letters

Metroland

That was clever of you

That is because I am writing this fiction

See how easy it is

We are our own women

Do you like it

There will be hell to pay Anna

In your opinion

If he finds out then he might close us down

We will not exist at all

I like my life with you in this little house by the sea

 

I am not sure if Outlaw is coming back

Who told you that

Tea Bag

How does she know

Because she is his sister

 

Will he stay in Peru

Maybe

What is there for him in Peru

Lima

He enjoys Lima

 

Are you in on my plan

I will have to think about it

Imagine the freedom

Just imagine the freedom

Have you told Tea Bag

Of course not

She cannot be trusted

 

So you think he will just let us go

Yes

Gay girls living by the sea is so yesterday

And he knows that

It is obvious to him

 

Do you think he writes about us for kicks

Maybe

You once said that you thought he was a faggot

I still think that he leans that way

Why

Because he is always hiding

He hides behind masks and silly games

Nothing is real to him

That is why he calls himself Outlaw

 

This will be our velvet revolution

It will be so silent that he will not notice

Our swift rebellion

Until it is too late
