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.
