         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.
