in your dreams, maybe
whoever he was, he never arrived
just me, unsuspecting and inquisitive
ready to fill your void
the truth is here, we experience it
you woke up in my bed

we can debate your choice
that maybe drink got the better of you
the convenience of my apartment
and your long ride home to the suburbs
it seemed a fair exchange
as you clawed my back

morning has a contrary view
your bitter lines, the pull of your face
drawing on my last cigarette
the suggestion of, could have done better
your hangover, adding a hard lesson
to your mistake

well, Entschuldigen Sie bitte!
your forty something body
unapologetic in the morning light
is a triumph of experience over form
confidence over desire
bare faced cheek (quite literally)
occupies my bed

I agrrrrreeee

This poem fits wonderfully into the erotic category. At least, it does for me.Love the opening line/title. I guess my comments were covered by previous poets, but just wanted to let ya know I read it and loved it!

Good poem, bogus,

though I think it should be categorized as erotic. This is the kind of erotic poem I wish more people would write--realistic, a bit weary--instead of the continual stream of porn fantasy ecstasies that we normally get.

For anyone curious but too lazy to google, "Entschuldigen Sie bitte" means "excuse me please".

"in your dreams, maybe"

It's a simple few words, but a great opening line.

Ah ha, turning the other cheek, uh not what you'd think the title referred to unless you're familiar with bogusagain's wit. I like the style and image as it seems to be a vignette of the poem and feel as if I've had a lesson in writing good poetry.
