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.
