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.
