         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

 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.
