The way the opening stanza dovetails in the closing stanza is particularly moving - and the emotion it conveys is quite ambiguous. It's definitely a mixed emotion, which probably stems from the fact that there is no closure or end of these experiences of the real world and the fantasy world. Wouldn't we go crazy with grief it we couldn't fantasize? I like the way you made the fantasies occur in very concrete situations. And you show how the critical mind is at work at the same time the fantasy mind is creating its dreams. That shows the complexity of our INTERIOR LIVES. And INTERIORITY is one of the glories of our existence but it also leads to disappointment over our failed desires. I wish I didn't have to include that last sentence! But it fits with the candor of your poem.
