A Raisin in the 'Son'
What happens to a dream deferred?
As long as you don't lose track of it- it remains possible. I guess.

Wow, that's some amazing painting there Andy! What's to feel guilty about? You deserve the award :)
What is the connection with langston Hughes? There is a play called Raisin in the Sun but its not by Hughes. You gotta help me, Andy. I shall surely go mad.

Poem "Harlem" (sometimes called "Dream Deferred") from Montage of a Dream Deferred (1951), from which a line was taken for the title of the play "A Raisin in the Sun."
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?
cool! thank you very much Neil for the dinner invite!! I will def. remember should I find myself in Toronto. Hear it's a great place.
