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.
