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.
