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?

– Langston Hughes; 1951

Andréa Zali Anderson. That's the name that's on my birth certificate. My mother was a blues singer before she had me.

They called her Zali A.

I never asked where the name Zali stemmed from, being that it's not a part of her government name

I never asked where the name Zali stemmed from, being that it's not a part of her government name. I often assumed that it was because of her long-life rebellion towards Papa Drew.

Now my father, Montreaux, is probably one of the best musicians I know.
