Here is the poem



A girl named Scuba 


We named our daughter Scuba. I am not sure how it happened, some say we should have named her after a famous literary friend in a career advancing homage, others that it should be a family name, or, if we wanted to stay within the water element, to invoke the powerful like Poseidon, the great turtle underneath us or re-invigorate a failure like Aquaman or The Prince of Tides. You don’t know what it’s like, you who named your kids before meeting them, you who didn’t spend a week in intensive care waiting for word about an aqueous angel, you who never held water.
