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.
