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.
