I'm a creature of habit

Each new day
I pull the same old food
Out of the cabinet
Like a hawk dives
Out of the sky
To snag a rabbit

We can base ourselves on the paths we lead
Or the foods on which we feed,
If your pockets are billowing with greed
Or if you strive to survive on humans basic need,
Love

Either, or
If you're the shimmering sun
Or a dying star
The hawk
Or the rabbit
You are who you are

A creature of habit
