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.
