Yes
Insightful 
But
How do we know the author doesn’t go home and kick the cat?
Words somehow are loosing their transmission 
After all, we end at our fingertips 
Trump is an apparition of our shadow selves
He is us and we have this in us
And
It is beyond revealing 
But don’t stop there
Dr Percy taught us to suck crayfish with everyone 
 the possibility for transcendence
Happens when you least know it
