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.
