IN      THE      DEPTHS      OF     MAY. 
                                          
                                
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                
                                          
 IMAGINE  IF YOU WILL, A  LUSH  BLUEBERRY 
 SPRUCE  FOREST,  WITH  ROLLING HILLS AND 
           KNEE-DEEP UNDERBRUSH.          
                                          
 THE  GROUND  IS SOFT.  LEAVES IN  ALL OF 
 THE SEVEN  STAGES  OF DECOMPOSITION  ARE 
   PACKED LOOSELY TOGETHER... SOMETIMES   
 THERE  ARE  ROCKS. BIGGER  BOULDERS PEEK 
            OUT OF THE HILLS.             
                                          
 THERE COULD BE,  SOMEWHERE IN THE DEPTHS 
 OF IT ALL, A CREVICE FILLED WITH  WATER. 
    BIRD CHERRIES AT THE EDGES, DIPPING   
 THEIR  LONG FINGERS BENEATH THE SURFACE. 
     WATER LILIES, MAYBE. THE WATER IS    
   YELLOW-GREEN WITH POLLEN, AND INSECTS  
      ARE SWARMING ABOVE THE SURFACE.     
                                          
        WATER STRIDERS, MOSQUITOS,        
         BACK FLIES, CRANE FLIES.         
                                          
                                
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                
                                          
 IN  THIS  CASE   WE   WOULD  USE   DEET, 
 OR DIETHYLTOLUAMIDE AS IT'S ALSO CALLED. 
                                          
 DEET  SHOULD  BE  APPLIED TO  YOUR SKIN. 
 YOU SHOULD COVER  ALL SKIN THAT IS TO BE 
 EXPOSED TO  AIR. IT'S OK  TO GET SOME IN 
 THE  EYES.  RUB  UNTIL  IT FEELS  RIGHT, 
 UNTIL THE SKIN FEELS GOOD. LET  IT  SOAK 
                    IN.                   
                                          
       YOU'VE NOW BECOME POISONOUS.
