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.
