January Amnesty

Time moves too slow when kneeled before oppressive three by four inch plastic altars taking communion with fellow debtors and praying in allocated installments of faith for blessings of pregnant dollars and a forecast of January amnesty But we all hear December's secrets in the static whispers curling away from desperate lips as if aired concerns will disappear like winter vapors. This devolvement back to flesh and bone liability will negotiate no cornerstone, compromise no clause, and grant no mercy even if we make it through December.
