If I have a heap of a thousand grains
And I take one by one and throw it down the drains
At what exact point a "heap" no longer remains?
If I drive unsober, hit and hurt Mr. Chuck
Another drives unsober, not encountering a single schmuck
Should I be punished more than he, for my ill-luck?
If I write a song, make a dress out of meat,
Trace a painting by Dali and cook pancakes from buckwheat
What rules define which ones are art which are no feat?
If we want our lives equipped with better aides of actions
Is it time to tear down our digital curtains
And re-build it with a core of more than just 0 and 1s?

It is quite simple. When you can no longer arrange the remaining grains into a heap, "the heap" no longer remains!.

You both should be punished for driving drunk.
since you hit Mr.Chuck, you should obviously be punished more. (The other unsober driver was just reckless and could have endangered others. You were reckless and you endangered/hurt someone else. So you deserve more punishment. ;-) ).

Writing a song is fine..dress out of meat?? Why would you want to have an animal killed and then make a dress out of stinking meat when you could afford to buy a dress made out of fabric?

There are no rules. The notion of "Valuable art" is a marketing scam by which smart businessmen speculate and drive up the value of non-essential goods and sell it to unsuspecting rich people at high prices.
As an example, Van Gogh was mentally ill and died poor because his contemporaries didn't see much value in his paintings. Once the speculators started pouring in (long after his death), the same paintings that couldn't feed him are fetching millions of dollars. Let us face it..Roadside cripples in some developing countries make better paintings than some of these famous artists!
If your pancake is edible and taste's good, it is usually considered as food (and not art). However, if there are enough fools (rich art patrons) and speculators, even your pancake could become a work of art.(If you don't understand this, read up more on "Tulip mania!").
