No Fear
by RC Edrington
he told me he could fly
like Spiderman,
& while I was unaware
Spidey could fly,
who was I
to argue with a 3 year old,

then he spread his
cherub wings
shot his invisible web
& dove from my desk
bounced off the sofa
crashed into the floor

arm & wrist broken
in a screech of pain,
2 days, surgery
& a cast later
my sister tells me
he still jumps
off furniture unafraid
of pain or failure,

& I sip a scotch
in wonder at
what else the kid
has left to teach
his uncle
