Touché turtle

Hey you, the turtle in the aquarium, are you trying to figure out who’s hiding behind my big glass eye ? Another prisoner, same as you ; to each his cage, scrutinizing one another, looking to pierce the other’s mystery. Surmising our sameness, same stuff of life, borne of the same spark, falling prey to the same instincts. Searching for love, liberty, we hit a wall, go round in circles. Hey turtle, have you got an escape plan, maybe ?
