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.
