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.
