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.
