>Art is intuitive and emotional not rational, art is not a science
It is not a science but it definitely is not irrational, nor only intuitive or emotional, proven by yourself by quoting a poem to prove your point. If it was merely intuitive and emotional, your poem would have only served to transmit an emotion, but as it turns out the main IDEA of the poem (ironically enough) is that philosophy detracts from art. The communication of this idea would be impossible without the rational relation of ideas exhibited in the poem, and pretending that the poem would be worse just because you have taken the time to rationally understand its contents (as opposed to the feelings the words on the page ellicit in you without further analysis of what they MEAN beyond that) is just wasting your time and missing the whole point.
>It reveals the trick, its like when you find out how an optical illusion or magic trick works, you can never really see the illusion or the magic trick the same way again, as you now know the details.
That is true if you believe that art is just merely for show and incapable of saying anything of value, which in my estimation a shallow view of art. If you beleive rational analysis detracts from a work of art, so be it, but doing so is reducing a literary work to just showmanship when I can assure you that behind every great work of art is a solid rational foundation of concepts that can and should be analyzed by everyone who has a genuine interest in what they, to put it in words you'd understand, "consuming".

>how do I improve my focus?
Get yourself a short and distracting audio file and loop it (it should have little to no moments of silence, even at the beginning), and pick any book and read it. While the audio file is playing, put in effort to completely understand everything you read, even more than when you read normally. When you finish reading the book you'll be better at focusing.

Hope it helps.
Remember, the more distracting and annoying the audio is the better this will work, so ambient music and music you like is cheating. Have fun!
