Explode?

Harlem 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?
