Dream Deferred - 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? 

My dream. Deferred for now, but by no means denied forever..

Hope all these fish won't be crusted and sugared over (read: served up in a restaurant someplace) by the time I've gotten the chance to finally be amongst them :D

*additional anecdote: in a somewhat unrelated snippet to the post above, i just gotta say LP's The Catalyst has been stuck in my head all day today. Haha, i remember how much i hated this song for making themselves sound like they'd succumbed to the techie, electro-dance wave, but now.. what's it called? ah yes, KARMA -.-

One lyric I do love though: "where oceans bleed into the sky" haa... now wouldn't that be awesome? the beauty of the underwater world made accessible to all of us meager landlubbers ^^
