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.
