Try this:

  (cl-destructuring-bind (ss mm hh &rest rest) (decode-time)
    (cl-destructuring-bind (_ _ us ps &rest rest) (current-time)
      (vector ss mm hh us ps)))

I don't know cl-lib well... I guess that there are better ways to
do that, and I hope that other people would come up and show
what are these better ways... =)
