2. A Dream Deferred By Langston Hughes

3. What Happens to a Dream Deferred?

4. Does it dry up

5. like a raisin in the sun?

6. Or fester like a sore-

7. And then run?

8. Does it stink like rotten meat?

9. Or crust and sugar over-

10. like a syrupy sweet?

11. Maybe it just sags

12. like a heavy load.

13. ……………

14. Or does it explode?
