Art, Cooking And Music Poem by Maggie Tong

Art is swimming on a cold Sunday morning and telling yourself no pain no gain.

Art is when two things are blended to make one beautiful thing.

Art is saying something is a master piece when its rubbish.

Art is confused people pretending they know what they’re looking at.

Art is saying oh I see what you were feeling.

Cooking is squinting and pretending it tastes great.

Cooking is watching the pot and thinking do “do I have something else to do.”
Cooking is burning your cake and blaming it on the oven.

Music is feeling what the artist is feeling.

Music is sitting in your room and your parents calling but you pretend you can’t hear them.

Music is listening to breakup songs when you’ve just been dumped.

Music is a memory through a song you enjoy.
