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.
