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.
