The Japanese Artist Who Launched Flowers Into Outer Space | The Slowdown

Sponsor Tom Woody Contest Name Alice Through The Wormhole Flowers outside the schoolroom grew bigger and brighter of their own volition. " Alice, Alice !" the teacher called. All she saw was a saucer eyed girl sitting, staring out the window. Sober as a Deacon she sat there with her mind blow-stitched to the earth. Fireworks burst in the sky as a big purple blubber bounced out "Alice, Alice" ssssssssss was the sound it made as it cupped out O with a sticky jelly mouth. he was from outer space unlike her own race he was soooo, gooey gooey!!! A slight change in atmosphere and suddenly Alice fell topsy-turvy into a dark hole. Exotic energy clung to her as she spun out of control and dropped into an inter-stellar tunnel filled with brilliant stars. Faster than the speed of light she travelled into a non existent wormhole. A sweet little paper plate with eyes, nose and mouth greeted her on the other side. He spoke the infographics of his knowledge to her, sending shock waves of pleasure to her extra-sensory perception with telepathic communication; Lost in gravity waves time dilation ... She arrived safely. Oh the flowers, the flowers were everywhere! Each specific tessitura sang to her in baritone, soprano, mezzo soprano and tenor. It was an elevation of the highest senses. Through vertical angles the sound was outsourced, so she listened with continuum " Alice, Alice " is what they sang in chorus. She tried to determine where the melody was coming from but deep down she knew that this heavenly music was an extension of her and them. Oh what a sweet tonality it was. Both subdued and energetic at the same time. As the galaxies split, the tidal forces merged together and suddenly it made no difference where she was or how she got there. All she knew was she was finally home ! The End.

Vienna, your poem about self-discovery, imagination, and transcendence is a fantastic and a sure winner. It contrasts a schoolroom with a fantasy adventure that helps one discover their true self. Adventure, curiosity, and the confluence of dreams and reality are explored through Alice's experience in a strange setting with bright graphics and cosmic elements.
