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.
