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.
