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.
