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.
