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.
