        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.
