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.
