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.
