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.
