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.
