Jack G Bowman


He stands on the edge of the wall that overlooks the San Gabriel Valley,

looks down at his small children

nervously sitting along the edge

he lets them up.

Time to take a tour inside the buildings

see the photos of the sun,

the blue of the walls,

which match the shade of air force walls,

where the rows of alien bodies were photographed

on aluminum gurneys in the 1950s

Mt. Wilson
