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.
