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.
