What Happens If a Dream is Deferred?
What happens if a dream is deferred?
Does it disappear
Like medicine when you take it?
Does it care
as if you are right there chancing it?
Do you dare take it
Rather than just waste it?
Do you succeed
Like you do when you win the crown?
Do you take the chance?
Or just give in as if it was just a wish?
....... Or does in explode?
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
