    “Harlem

    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?”

    for if dreams die

    Hold fast to dreams
    for when dreams go
    life is a barren field
    frozen with snow.”

    Ed Lynskey
    “Quote taken from Chapter 1:

    "The police should be in it, not us. We’re out of here.” Bill did an about-face to retrace their route to the door.

    Piper whipped out a hand and snagged him by the shirttail. Her tone returned to crisp and decisive. “Slow down, Roadrunner. I’m not ready to leave. We’ve got work to do.”

    Incredulous, he stared gape-mouthed at her. “You'd better explain,” he said.

    She wiggled her nose. “I’m growing nosier by the second about the circumstances surrounding Anna’s murder.”
    ― Ed Lynskey, The Corpse Wore Gingham
