Artists do math, here's a visual proof
Do you see an equation that art couldn't figure?
Real artists are not mathophobes, real humans are irrational,
Harmonic mean is the reciprocal of arithmetic mean of reciprocal.

You don't understand but you look
At this enigmatic equation you took
As a math figure from a cryptozoology book
Spied in a shady nook.
Its about reciprocal and harmonic means even without help from the cook
You know that artists see as a mean arithmetic hook
The natural intelligence of a rook.
The equation is now friendly and you will hear soon its harmonic bells dingdook.
Poets do not write to be understood. We cannot allow artists to draw pictures of the square root of nine for an idealized rational user.
"I don't like numbers that can't be written as a fraction. It's an irrational fear."

"Of course an equation can be harmonious, but the beauty cannot be divorced from its meaning."
Sander Bais
When the subject is strong, simplicity is the only way to treat it.
There is no safety in numbers; do believe in art.
Anselm Kiefer, Nobody knows all of math, not even the best artists.
Poetry is philosophical for it tends to express the universal according to the law of probability or necessity.
