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.
