the names of others

i have used
the names of others
to enter
this site and others.
small
and great writers.
from Updike
to Salinger to Hemingway,
to Plath and Sexton,
Larkin,
and Levine,
Cheever,, to name a few.
i attach a few numbers
to the end,
plus some non-numerical
symbol,
to tighten the screws.
it's hard
to get in though, sometimes
i can't remember
who's guarding which
door,
and i have to start all
over again.
