Four of Swords - Six of Pentacles
not paying attention
not - Four of Swords
paying attention - Six of Pentacles
Four of Swords is not doing anything, so once in a while we catch him acting as if he were a negator (same as Four of Cups sometimes does because he 'refuses'). But here his 'not' applies only to the meaning of the card he pairs with here, Six of Pentacles.
Six of Pentacles is an exchange so it will show up for paying, paying anything, not just money: paying attention today....
