Wow. That was astonishing to read, which is a great accomplishment really. I don't mean that in the sense that I'm some sort of literary snob or anything, but I find that I'm very judgmental of poetry and I come to conclusions quickly about people based on how well they write and portray poetry. Your poem is just amazing to me.
I wanted to say that the beginning drew me in and created a sense of surrealism that matched the theme of the poem perfectly. The description is not overtly displayed and the ease with which you write only helped to accentuate the tone that I perceived. Something that really caught my eye, however, was how often the speaker of the poem had to explain and expand on the thoughts they had about where they found themselves in the dream and the people they interacted with.
Of course, the ending left me breathless. I especially loved the second to last line: "...we don't admire the infinite potentials of a wide white frame..." and I have a feeling it's because it's vague and nothing in it is concrete. Also, hats off to you for ending on the perfect word.
