Little Pigs

Boring little pigs, all gathered in their fragile groups. The typical nerds and jocks and hooligans. Oh how such connections could dissolve under the lightest of turmoil, the briefest of breezes. The process, however, is slow. What’s this feeling of purpose? A catalyst? Me?

Straw:

I approach the nerds first. It’s intriguing and rather pleasing, how they’re held together. It’s not by favour of another but scorn of the other. Built by the golden, arrogant, weak straw, the group is already crumbling. The slight breath of one repeatedly uttered condescending statement “Pig one called pig two dumb.”, set their stagnant sty ablaze. Pleased as I am, I sneak away. Not satisfied though, I still want more prey.

Sticks:

I stalk the hooligans from afar, not out of fear. Because picking on a younger boy is what allows me near. They invite me in to mock and jest. Inside is where I plan the best. We talk behind each other's backs, filling my lungs with useful facts. And when I blow my breath to the rest of the guys, the sticks crack and snap along with their guise.

Red, Red Bricks:

The bricks were not only heavy, but also hard to crack. No wind could blow it over. I need to slip in through the back. Why is it that this cemented team’s so really tightly packed. They know all about each other and yet they are still friends. I chip away a little bit but they always make amends. What about the chimney? I can slip a rumor through. I blow my hot breath down the shoot but no chaos is made true. Is this true friendship? Not just dependence but trust. They communicate and talk, bounded by iron without even a little bit of rust. Their friendship is forged by experience and chemistry through the games they've played and the understanding they have. These jocks… this team… I give up as they blow off steam, for the rumors that I've made to be. Not pigs, but boars with tusks of steel take down the breathless wolf… me.

Note: I tried playing around with a first person perspective in present tense which I've never tried before. I accidentaly started rhyming and couldn't stop for some reason. please leave comments and thaught and feedback. Whatever you have to say, I would like to hear it.
