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.
