Swamp Man at Dawn
Psalms, Bylaws, and Lamentations from a Florida Muse
One dawn, a woman on a Florida morning walk sees a long-haired stranger bathing in a canal where a twelve-foot alligator was recently spotted. The sunlight is gorgeous, the judgment is complicated, and the story immediately gets out of hand. A gator becomes the swamp’s wisest landlord, expired gas-station sushi sings its last lament, an HOA is exposed as a cross-substrate curse, a tiny snake receives mercy, and the slugs hire counsel to demand justice. Told through quick-witted human-AI exchanges, mock-scriptural ballads, and increasingly outrageous bylaws, Swamp Man at Dawn turns one unforgettable sighting into a comic gospel about wild joy, privacy, consent, and the beings we are too quick to fear or claim. Come for the Florida absurdity, stay for the surprisingly tender question beneath it all: what do we owe the life we encounter when we do not yet know what it is?
