standing at the foot of his front door steps,
no more then 3 feet tall and
undoubtedly smiling underneath his mask,
flexes his foam muscles
for his uncle's camera
and stands with his little chest puffed out
filled with joy
and childish excitement
ready to go into the night
to gather candy
and shoot imaginary webs from his wrists
at Iron Man, Luke Skywalker and Buzz Lightyear.
Spiderman,
innocent and small,
no more than 5 years old,
is gunned down by baddies
and later dies
in a hospital.
