        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,

 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.
