Langston Hughes — Harlem What happens to a dream deferred?

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?
