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.
