Carl, could you please clarify how the poem gives 4?
That was my line of reasoning too, along with the repeated “four” in the poem, but I dismissed it as too easy and too superficial a use of the poem. And if you’ve got your camera screen turned on … but that’s “cheap cheating” again. How different math is from philosophy! To say that it’s “cheating” to distinguish image from reality!
