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.
