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.
