until now
a cat cleverly cleans herself amidst sirens, jets, chirps
an already clean mouse and keyboard keep clicking away
a dishwasher hums to the medley of a washer and dryer
while the carmotors of downtown Seattle play their parts
then
suddenly the sound of paperbag crumpling chimes in,
followed by further scratchings and rufflings and now
the cat slowly walks into the mouse and keyboard room
she cries for attention but
the clicks keep clicking away
until
now
