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.
