What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry uplike 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 sagslike a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Langston Hughes (1951)
Què li passa a un somni posposat? / S'asseca / com una pansa al sol? / O supura com una ferida - / i després regalima? / Put com la carn podrida? / O s'escrostona i deixa anar sucre - / com un caramel de xarop? / Potser tan sols s'enfonsa / com una càrrega pesada. / O potser explota?
