The Clockwatcher

Dear Crumbheads,

Tick. Tap. Check. Wait. Breathe. Repeat. The Clockwatcher stares at everything that hasn’t happened yet. Time’s not passing—it’s looming.

Hold your breath for a moment. Then let it drop.

You don’t have to rush your way to peace.
Stillness doesn’t respond to clocks.

I once stared at a dough ball for so long I started aging emotionally.

What were you waiting for today? Did it show up?
