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.
