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?
Langston Hughes
