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.
