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.
