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.
