Perhaps dreams curdle like leftover cottage cheese- Dream Deferred

This poetry's tasteful imagery really paints an image for the reader. The format of this poem allows is formatted so that the final line "or does it just explode" stands out from the rest (or than the fact that it was italicized). The final line is a metaphor rather than a simile. With this fact I think this opens that final line as a more open interpretation than fester like a sore. While this might be outside the cone of meaning I still think that this explosion is a positive thing. The reason I saw this is because an explosion is seen/heard more than rotting meat (which sits in the back of the refrigerator). So while the other outcomes of the dreams were personal and pertained to one person, I view the explosion as this violent "stepping out of the closet" moment. So while it might seem like this is the worst thing that can happen, I think sometimes an explosion is needed to make dreams come true.
