I Could Have Made Myself Many Names

I could have made myself many names
And divided my work in styles and kinds
I could have pretended to be
More than one me-
I somehow decided not to.
Some after all say each one is not even one
And others say being many makes us more
But I am responsible for these poems and pages
Let it be my name my self my only one
For after all as one
God will judge me-
