Visitors

scampering, scurrying
     rushing back and forth
   anxious looks, beads of sweat
     merge into rivulets

   the significance of the moment
     all boils down to this   
   the visitors from Planet X2Y*Z
     ~had forgotten how to gape.

Could those visitors be cats with all that scampering and scurrying. The mice visited by aliens. Shrug… :)
