historical memory

Harlem
By Langston Hughes
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?
