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.
