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.
