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.
