Scuba Lessons
Remember when your whole family went to Hawaii.You asked nicely if I could come as your friend.The sky was dark and the rocks were jagged as knives.You said we should give scuba diving a try.On our first dive I wasBored until we saw aSchool of turtles swimmingRight by us.I touched one’s shell to tell him hello,He said tell me something that I don’t know.You shared a room with your sister and her best friend.I shared one with your seven-year-old brother, Glen.We snuck out to meet up under the moonlight.By the mango tree I learned you could cry.You said maybe if weWent under the waterLife would stop aboveTo let us swim.I touched your face just to say time won’t slow.You said tell me something that I don’t know.Where was I when you learned you could breathe underwater?Where do I find you to take you back up to the surface?
