        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.
