Yeah, I've heard the term deja ku. I've wondered if ideas float in on the wind.

Oh, wow. I submitted a senryu with a similar idea to Prune Juice (about someone telling us who to hate). I wondered about "who" and "whom" too, but "who" sounded more natural, so I went with that. I don't know if I'd call myself a great mind, but great minds think alike. 😆

Thank you! I was inspired to write it because sometimes my brain just won't shut up. 😆
