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.
