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.
