Every time I drive by these Orange County fields, barbwired and bunkered.
I am reminded of A Scanner Darkly.
A Scanner Darkly is a 2006 American animated science fiction thriller film directed by Richard Linklater based on the novel of the same name by Philip K. Dick. Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Scanner_Darkly_(film)
A Scanner Darkly is a BSFA Award winning 1977 science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. The semi-autobiographical story is set in a dystopian Orange County, California, in the then-future of June 1994, and includes an extensive portrayal of drug culture and drug use (both recreational and abusive). The novel represents one of Dick's best-known works, and served as the basis for a 2006 film of the same name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Scanner_Darkly
An undercover cop in a not-too-distant future becomes involved with a dangerous new drug and begins to lose his own identity as a result.
Director: Richard Linklater Writers: Philip K. Dick (novel), Richard Linklater (screenplay)
Stars: Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Robert Downey Jr.
In a totalitarian society in a near future, the undercover detective Bob Arctor is working with a small time group of drug users trying to reach the big distributors of a brain-damaging drug called Substance D. His assignment is promoted by the recovery center New Path Corporation, and when Bob begins to lose his own identity and have schizophrenic behavior, he is submitted to tests to check his mental conditions.

A Scanner Darkly (2006) Quotes
[last lines]
Fred: I saw death rising from the earth, from the ground itself, in one blue field.
[picks up a blue flower]
Fred: A present for my friends... at Thanksgiving.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405296/quotes
"As part of the rehab program, Arctor is renamed "Bruce" and forced to participate in cruel group-dynamic games intended to break the will of the patients. The story ends with Bruce working at a New-Path farming commune, where he is suffering from a serious neurocognitive deficit after withdrawing from Substance D. Although considered by his handlers to be nothing more than a walking shell of a man, "Bruce" manages to spot rows of blue flowers growing hidden among rows of corn, and realizes the blue flowers are Mors ontologica, the source of Substance D. The book ends with Bruce hiding a flower in his shoe to give to his "friends" – undercover police agents posing as recovering addicts at the Los Angeles New-Path facility – on Thanksgiving.

There’s pi in your pizza
Pi in your eye
Pi in the lie
Pi in the pyramid
Pi in the lid
Pi in Solomon’s molten sea
(Though the error is false, that which you’ve told, you see.)
Google’s pi, ten significant digits
Scripture’s pi reveals 28, see to it
Pi in you, pi in me
Pi in cursive 3
Pi in Dali
Pi in golly
To bake my pie, and eat I to
So few know 3.141592
Is followed by 65359
Where’s the pi in wine?
Or the pi in a stein?
When I opine, is there pi in my whine?
Numbers surround, and pi is found
If an inverted p is a b, then pi can be found in by, bye, and buy
Hello, goodbye, until our orbits (calculated by pi) intersect again
Look for and where pi can be found
Inside, outside, within, without, pi can always be found ‘round.
I had a dream …
About a women I loved.
She seemed to love me too.
Soon single without a clue.
Was I really loved?
Or was it just the denim?
I heard she met a man named Stan.
Together for a while,
Then she split again.
Moving on to Spain,
Spontaneity is her style.
I wonder if it’s still never nylon.
Now I drink whisky,
Still don’t have a woman.
She’s probably got another guy.
I wrote a letter asking why?
She sent a telegram
“I switched to vinyl.”
(This is based on an earlier version that I is currently misplaced.)
Also in 1936, at the premiere screening of Joseph Cornell's film Rose Hobart at Julien Levy's gallery in New York City, Dalí became famous for another incident. Levy's program of short surrealist films was timed to take place at the same time as the first surrealism exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, featuring Dalí's work. Dalí was in the audience at the screening, but halfway through the film, he knocked over the projector in a rage. "My idea for a film is exactly that, and I was going to propose it to someone who would pay to have it made," he said. "I never wrote it down or told anyone, but it is as if he had stolen it". Other versions of Dalí's accusation tend to the more poetic: "He stole it from my subconscious!" or even "He stole my dreams!"[34]
