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.
