What Happens To A Dream Deferred

What Happens to a Dream Deferred? Does it melt, Like chocolate in the hearth? Or does it vanish, Like a monster in the marsh? Does it burn, Like touching a flame? or does it hurt, Likelosing the big game? Does it kill, Like bombers in the sky? Or does go free, Like a crook with an alibi? Does it flee, Like people on the run? Or does it sting, Like being shot wth a BB gun? Does it fizzle, Like a can of pop? Or does it get expelled, Like a bad cop? Does it part, Like the Red Sea? Or does it scamper, like a newborn chimpanzee? Does it fade, Like jeans in the wash? Or does it squeak, Likea yellow galosh? Does it roll, Like a barrel on a hill? Or doesit grow, Like a plant on a windowsill? Does it splinter, Like age old rotting wood? Or does it stand tall, Like a California redwood? Does it soar, Like an eagle in the sky? Or does it quit, Like one who mever tries? Does it sway, Like a craddle in the wind? Or does it mourn, Like one who lost a freind? Does it sink, Like a heavy rock? Or does it reek, Like sweaty gym socks? Does it burst, Like an overfilled ballon? Or does it ring, Like a clock at twelve noon? Does it shrivel, Like plastic in the fire? Or does it keep going, Like one who never tires? Does it shine, Like the stars deep in space? Or does it dance, Like one with liquid grace? Does it shrink, Like clothes in the dryer? Or does it sing, Like people in the choir? Or does it explode?
