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.
