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.
