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.
