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.
