Poet's Nook: "Harlem" by Langston Hughes


Rag #draw #mobile #poor #sketch anger #rage #eyes #art #face ...


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?
