You and me

Langston Hughes – A Raisin in the Sun

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up

like a raisin in the sun?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over--

like a syrupy sweet?

Or fester like a sore--

And then run?

Maybe it just sags like a heavy load

.

Or does it explode?
