Subject: "lenox avenue mural" 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?

Haha I was just writing my A Raisin in the Sun paper. That poem, obviously, is at the begginning of that play. Coincidence, yeep.

But other than that, the poem makes me sad.
