recruiting takes place in peoples    
 yards, or outside stores,  or with a bit 
        of violence and trickery.         
                                          
 throw  the   fourleggers   into  a  van. 
 decode  them. sort  them  by species and 
                  taste.                  
                                          
 decorate  the  dog,  decorate  the  dogs 
 mind,  upsize  the  paws,  or the  whole 
   creature, frame a burroughs portrait,  
 sing a tune about being brought  to your 
 roads  end and reborn as something else. 
                                          
 you    can't   go    the    same    way, 
  unfortunately, though another path is   
 open. a  grimier, grainier, more painful 
 approach. hopefully bliss  is at the end 
 of  it, but i  don't  know.  might  just 
 ruin  you.  will   probably   ruin  you.
