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.
