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.
