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.
