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.
