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.
