What is taste?

 

Is it something in the food?

Or is it something in the tongue?

If you could taste but the food was bland

Would that be different

Than if the food was tasty

But you can't taste?

Is it in the food then?

Different food

Different tastes

Surely it cant be that simple

Because sometimes the same food

Tastes different on a different day

Perhaps it is something in the smell?

Or something you have tasted before?

A similarity, a familiarity?

A place, or a person, or a time?

Or is it something in the mind?

Something you remember?

Could it be a memory?

That you are trying to recreate

Not just the food

The thought or the taste

But the entire experience

Of that memory

How could you tell

You cant ask another

Everyone's taste is different

Pun intended !
