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.
