so right. The world is full of blank faces. No one knows how to be.... anything, real.

Always a fun form to play with. I really like the reversal you did in the last stanza so that you ended the poem with the same line you started with. Other than that, i kind of wished it was a little longer, both by adding a couple more stanzas, and maybe also adding a few more feet to each line. As it stands, the poem kind of reads too quickly to convey any meaning beyond your blanket generalization, and doesn't really offer anything more than anecdotal support of your point. With a little more meat to it, though, i can easily see this turning into an orwellian nightmare that no reader would quickly forget.

BZ.

I don't know what a pantoum is, but you did good to me. I like the reverse you ad. Very good.
