Deferred
by Langston Hughes (excerpt)
This year, maybe do you think I can graduate?
I'm already two years late.
Dropped out six months when I was seven,
a year when I was eleven,
then got put back when we come North...
Maybe now I can have that white enamel stove
I dreamed about when we first fell in love
eighteen years ago.
But you know,
rooming and everything
then kids...
Me, I always did want to study French
It don't make sense-
I'll never go to France,
but night schools teach French...
Someday
I'm gonna buy two new suits
at once!
All I want is
one more bottle of gin.
All I want is to see
my furniture paid for.
and
jazz formats in this poem to emphasize how African American dreams
Langston Hughes uses
remained unfulfilled.
