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.
