Un-winged

"How do we fly?" asked he.

His toddler-eyes betraying

no signs of disbelief.

I liked the possibility

inherent to "how"

than the hesitation

"can" implied

And, that he included me in the we

was reason enough for me

to leave behind the crippling logic

"By keeping yourself unfettered by wings"

is all I managed

to chirp with glee.
