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.
