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.
