Nature doesn't duplicate
copy
repeat
recreate
it speaks in variation
difference
dissimilarity
modification
looking at the tree
the leaves
seem exactly the same
the squirrels playing
on the branch of the tree
seem exactly the same
every impulse
to see them
as exactly the same
is your little hitler
peeking out
from the shadow.

I like the very subtle rhymes. And I think it's called hyperbole ...
Nailed it. As usual.
