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.
