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.
