When snowstorm blasted North Carolina in January of 2018, the swamps of Shallotte River froze over. During winter months, alligators go through a semi-shutdown mode called brumation. During brumation, their metabolism slows right down and they float to the surface for the briefest sips of oxygen. During this rare weather in January, ten alligators stuck their snouts out at the very right moment. The swamp froze completely over, leaving their bodies frozen underneath but their snouts in the air allowing them to breath and survive the harsh frost.
"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
