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.
