The speaker destroys the snowman out of fury and is left with a sense of isolation no matter what he tries to do. The speaker clearly is not able to construct anything, only destruct. The speaker is looking for a purpose and a snowman represents companionship, something that is lacking in his/her life. However, in stanza four he begins to "boot" the snowman in line three and becomes destructive once again. Destroying the snowman is also destroying an image of him, again demonstrating self-destruction.
