Hello my little Listies! This week our source is a 1974 dystopian novel by the late Philip K. Dick entitled Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said. Isn't that a great title?

I love a good sci-fi story, but like the divide between fans of Star Trek (me) and Star Wars, I do not like sci-fi's dragon-happy cousin, fantasy. My personal tastes aside, what we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new original poem of our own. Any subject, any style or form. Then just link up, visit others, and then sit and contemplate how the world around you is an illusion constructed by powerful shadow figures beyond imagining. Or, just read a PkD novel! This prompt remains active through Sunday.
And now, your List!
