A Poem a Day (518): Jackdaw

  
Following a Robert Lee Brewer poetry prompt: write a déjà vu poem.

Jackdaw 

We’ve been here before,
said the jackdaw to the rabbit.
This field, this grass, this green,
and all things here come to pass.
 
You’re feeding on the exact same
carrot, munching it in equal fashion,
left to right, up, down, right to left,
and me, wearing my own true feathers
in my dazzling, highfalutin manner,
gazing down at you from up here.
 
I marvel at your patience, chewing
as if tomorrow depends on it.
But tomorrow is just like today,
and you’ll think it’s today tomorrow.
