She pointed directly…
As trees like tassels swung
To miniature creatures
Accompanying the sun

                    Now within
                    an angel twin
                    a spirit capped
Covered

                    A fallen twin
                    though spirit kept
                    crept within
Shuttered

                    Leaves impress
                    though wither since
                    yet with one hand
Carried

                    By silk, by light
                    a faith, a plight
                    as we hark and herald
Surely

The Integratron

Landers, California, credit and date in dispute. Provenance: Considered a hoax. Accordingly, El Disco obtained a 60's style Polaroid print from a Mr. Plowman, who claims to have obtained the photo directly from the photographer [unknown] while at the 1997 International UFO Congress in Laughlin Nevada. According to Mr. Plowman, "the photo is a gag relating back to the whole affair here and at Giant Rock down the road a while back in the 60's where some guy [George Van Tassel] who built the Integratron was wooing rich folks into the desert and charging large sums of money to bring them into contact with the UFO aliens around at the time."
