Turtle

I want to get with your turtle. Your turtle seems so at peace, At a slow pace that really creeps. Taking everything easy. I want to chat with your turtle. I want to ask if it has wishes to be free? And if a turtle gets relief. So thick its shell! With skin so reptile-ish. Does it ever want a hug or kiss? And 'how' does it handle this? So rich it smells! In a pot cooked with mustard seed. With carrots and celery leaves. And a dash of sea salt spiced with peppers! Does it know that its good to eat? I want to get with your turtle. Your turtle seems so at peace, At a slow pace that really creeps. Taking everything easy. So thick its shell! With skin so reptile-ish. Does it ever want a hug or kiss? And 'how' does it handle this? I want to chat with your turtle. I want to ask if it has wishes to be free? And if a turtle gets any relief... To be away and out of that shell!
