I am the Walrus

Door of salinity is closed to me,
rotten, ripped and smelling things.
Pasty skin with suntan gin
and other forms of pastime salt,
cooked and soaked, but rubbing off.

I am the tooth
of health and hearth,
meaning my mouth
is of heat, a fire
but it started first,
before the water came later.

Bleeding lead
and timing footraces.
Jewcing Nazis,
writing posthumously,
measuring water depths
and medieval maces.
These are things I like most.

I am the Walrus,
bones and bags
skins and more bags,
I am the Walrus.

I darn near fell off of my chair when I saw your photo! I love your sense of humour!

You may look like a walrus ~ but you sure don't write like one!
