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.
