         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.
