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.
