OVERREACH

A single hand clap
Intended to rouse the world
Just startled the cat

About Ben Naga

The Spirit that graces me with its passing has no name and stems not from thoughts and words, though it gathers them up as it flows, but from feeling.

    If only our solitary applause could make a difference. Well maybe it does, besides scaring the 🐈. I’ve done that too, poor Kitty. (In the past. No cats anymore.)
    Anyway, I enjoyed this, Ben.

    “Just startled the cat” sounds like a syncopated clatter of handclaps
