Inspired by Langston Hughes' "Harlem"



What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it wither away,
Once a plump grape,
Now humiliated in a raisin state?

Or linger like the winter rain,
On a spring day?

Maybe it just flies,
Like a dandelion,
Freed by the breeze.

Or
            does
                        it
                                    just
                                                fade?
