"Amount to much?"  I'm not sure what you mean.
I dimly remember that I made plans, daydreams,
Really, no more than that, to take on some means
Of supporting myself in the fashion of someone
You'd see on TV:  witty and affluent, parked in
The suburbs with suitable signs of success in my midst,
The lovely wife, some golf clubs, a car with wood on its
Dashboard and leather seats, but I never actually chased
Those dreams.  I stumbled.  I drifted.  I lived like a pauper,
My eyes filled with sights of the unvarnished city.
I couldn't stop hearing the music in words, so I wrote.
That's pretty much all I've been doing.  I'll leave it to you 
To determine whether that counts as amounting to much.
