I am packing to go to the airport br but somehow I am never packed. br I keep remembering more things br I keep forgetting. br br Secretly the clock is bolting br forward ten minutes at a click br instead of one. Each time br I look away, it jumps. br br Now I remember I have to find br the cats. I have four cats br even when I am asleep. br One is on the bed and I slip br br her into the suitcase. br One is under the sofa. I br drag him out. But the tabby br in the suitcase has vanished. br br Now my tickets have run away. br Maybe the cat has my tickets. br I can only find one cat. br My purse has gone into hiding. br br Now it is time to get packed. br I take the suitcase down. br There is a cat in it but no clothes. br My tickets are floating in the bath br br tub full of water. I dry them. br One cat is in my purse br but my wallet has dissolved. br The tickets are still dripping. br br I look at the clock as it leaps br forward and see I have missed br my plane. My bed is gone now. br There is one cat the size of a sofa.
