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.
