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.
