Dream Cycle: III. Harlem

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
Syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
Like a heavy load.

Or does it
Or does it
Or does it explode?
