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.
