Alice Through The Wormhole


After Alice almost forgot her exhilarating experience 
in the dream of her visit to the wonderland,
her imaginative mind drove her often outdoors onto
the open expanse of the undulating landscape 
that rolled before her dreamy eyes with animated fantasy.

One night as she was spell-bound, 
gazing at the star-crowned sky,
she felt she flew beyond the galaxy 
and fell into a wormhole where
she travelled faster than light 
from one point to another disparate point 
in the space-time continuum.

The survival struggle thrust her 
into the abysmal warren,
capturing intrepidly her fading frame 
in the fleeting flow of the flexible time.
The disarrayed pieces of her mind were thrown
into the debris of dismal confusion,
she was unable to escape from the chasm, 
even if she arduously attempted ad infinitum.

She lost the concept of the present 
as she traveled time to the cosmic distant past, 
witnessed the glare of the Big Bang 
and the birth of the billion suns of the milky way. 
A far away dwarf star pulled her then 
across the curved space of vacuity 
to the future where she saw the Big Crunch, 
shrinking the universe
into a singular God particle.

Traveling mystified in the tunnel of time 
through the wormhole, 
as her psychic alcove merged with spatial infinity
she was sucked into a black hole 
that bent her self-control 
and deformed her perception of time.
While she was losing mesmerized
the sense of her entity into nothingness, 
and started to gravitate toward the point of no return,
she came out once again from the trance of fantasy.
