• A Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes

  What happens to a dream deferred?

  Does it dry up
  like a raisin in the sun?
  Or fester like a sore--
  And then run?
  Does it stink like rotten meat?
  Or crust and sugar over--
  like a syrupy sweet?

  Maybe it just sags
  like a heavy load.

  Or does it explode?
