Autonomous Railmakers Will Notice     
  Wildlife In Their Path And Stop,      
  
 Sound   A  Horn,  Nudge  The   Animal  A 
 Little,  But  Ultimately  Wait  It  Out. 
 Although  They  Will Log Video,  No Call 
 Will    Be   Made    For   Any   Outside 
      Assistance. This Is Very Good.      
                                          
  The Railmakers Are Siemens-Manufactured 
 Brick-Like  Things. Fields  Of  Gray And 
     Teal, Floodlights, Thrumming And     
 Hissing.  Trilling To  Each Other,  Like 
 Language.  And   Here,  Three  Of  Them, 
 Slowly  Making  Their  Way  Through  The 
              Dense Forest.               
                                          
 I'M  Coming Up On  Them From Behind  And 
 To The  Left, Hidden  Behind  The  Thick 
 Foliage.  Their  Light  Finds  The  Gaps 
     Between The Leaves, Casting Rays     
 Through  The Wet  Air, Playing  Over  My 
 Face  And Arms, And My Weapon. I Quickly 
 Overtake Them, Crouch  In The Ditch Made 
 By  The Preprocessor,  And Watch. One Of 
 Them  Is  Already  A   Bit  Behind   The 
 Others.   It   Will   Be   My    Target. 
                                          
 Just As The Light Of The Leading  Two Is 
 Dimming, I Deploy The Rabbits,  Throwing 
 Them  In  The  Path  Of   My  Prey.  The 
 Creatures Are Yet Alive,  But Maimed  So 
 As  To  Be Unable  To  Move  - They Will 
 Stay  In  The  Path  Of  The  Railmaker, 
 Forcing It To  Pause, Further Separating 
         It From Its Two Friends.         
                                          
                                          
  
  Another Thing About The Machines:     
  There'S Flesh Inside Them.  
  Not Meat, 
 But  Something  Like  A Liver, That Will 
  Keep The Railmakers Internal Chemistry  
 Well  Away From Their Various  Exhausts. 
                                          
 A Liver That,  As Long As You Manage  To 
 Keep  It  Alive,  Can  Clean  The  Creek 
 Water Enough  For  It To  Be  Drinkable. 
                                          
          Which Is Why I'M Here.
