“From Homeless to Harvard”
Discussion of Hughes Poem Harlem
(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?
