<p>Here is Langston Hughes’ take on ED deferral (j/k, obviously he was thinking about a bigger “dream”). this was posted by a deferred student in another forum.</p>

<p>“Dream Deferred”
Dream Deferred</p>

<p>What happens to a dream deferred?</p>

<p>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?</p>

<p>Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.</p>

<p>Or does it explode?</p>

<p>-Langston Hughes (1902-1967)</p>
