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.
