         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

 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.
