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.
