        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.
