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.
