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.
