No Sweet Talking

Julie Kovacs

Don’t sing “Babe” to me and tell me your life is in my hands
after you tell me to get you a beer and bag of Doritos
so that you can ossify on the sofa while watching the ball game on television.

Do not bother telling me that I am the most beautiful woman you have ever seen
after you spend several hours sitting on the can, looking at the women in fashion magazines that I buy.

Somehow you expect me to dress up like Lily Munster or Joan Crawford
since I didn’t quite make the Mae West imitation club.
With all your yapping you make me neurotic not exotic,
the “Mommy Dearest” of your worst nightmare.

Until you wake up every morning as if you recovered from a hangover the previous night,
telling me words that are sappy enough to fill a Canadian forest of maple trees.

Once you called me an enigma
Blinded by my lack of beauty
but impressed with my army sergeant toughness
which made you think I was just “one of the guys”
who really preferred hanging out with the girls.
