Not Sure Anymore

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?

And yes, I know it’s already on my Poems page, but with the election looming, I felt like offering it up again.  After all, isn’t that what “favorites” are all about?   —    kmab]
