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.
