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.
