         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

 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.
