I saw a kid struggling through the snow in my alley today.
Trying to keep up with his dad.
He couldn't have been older than four.
Snow almost up to his waist,
making his way in the tracks left behind by so many cars.
His yellow parka stood out in the sea of grey.
It was an uphill battle but the lil' trooper moved on.
Smiling the whole time,
in his new Spider-Man boots.
